Capo: 2

One of the greatest songs ever written. If you wanna play the live version from the "Live 1975-1985" take a capo on 2nd fret. If you wanna play the normal record play it with standard tuning (E A D B E) The River Bruce Springsteen Tabbed by Steini Intro: | Em | G | D | C | Am | G | C e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------12-10-8------12-10-8-10-------| G|-9--8-9-11-12---------8b--------------8b----| D|--------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------|

I ^Emcome from down in the v^Galley Where m^Dister, when you're y^Coung They br^Eming you up to d^Go l^Cike your daddy d^Gone Me and M^Cary we met in high school When sh^Ge was just s^Devent^Emeen We'd d^Amrive out of this valley down to wh^Gere the fields were gr^Ceen

We'd go d^Emown to the r^Civer And ^Dinto the river we'd d^Give Oh d^Emown to the r^Civer we'd r^Dide^C

Then ^EmI got Mary pregnan^Gt And m^Dan, that was all she wr^Cote And ^Emfor my 19th b^Girthday I got a union c^Card and a wedding c^Goat We w^Cent down to the courthouse And the j^Gudge put it ^Dall to r^Emest No w^Amedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle No fl^Gowers, no wedding dr^Cess

That night we went d^Emown to the r^Civer And ^Dinto the river we'd d^Give Oh d^Emown to the r^Civer we did r^Dide ^C

I g^Emot a job working constr^Guction for the J^Dohnstown Company^C But l^Emately there ain't been m^Guch work on acc^Count of the econom^Gy Now ^Call them things that seemed so important Well mister th^Gey vanished right ^Dinto the air ^Em Now I just ^Amact like I don't remember Mary ^Gacts like she don't c^Care

But I rem^Emember us riding in my br^Gother's car Her body t^Dan and wet down at the r^Ceservoir At n^Emight on them banks I'd l^Gie awake And pull her cl^Cose just to feel each b^Greath she'd take Now those m^Cemories come back to haunt me They h^Gaunt me l^Dike a c^Emurse Is a dr^Ameam a lie if it don't come true Or ^Gis it something w^Corse

That sends me d^Emown to the r^Civer Though I kn^Dow the river is d^Gry That sends me d^Emown to the r^Civer ton^Dight^C D^Emown to the r^Civer my b^Daby and ^GI Oh d^Emown to the r^Civer we r^Dide^C Ooh.. Em C D G Em C C
