THE RIVER As recorded by Elbow (From the 2011 Album BUILD A ROCKET BOYS!) [Intro] Dmaj7 Em Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 [Verse 1]

^EI walked ^Cwith the ^Ariver in ^Dkind of a ^Edream Hand in ^Chand, the ^Aall-knowing ^Driver and ^Eme To the ^Cclammer of ^Arushes^D and ^Edeeply barren trees A ^Adrunk making blossom, ^Dthe blush to be ^Eseen

[Interlude] D Em Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 [Verse 2]

^EI told him my ^Asorrows ^Dand broken-down ^Edreams ^EConfessed every ^Alie, re^Dplayed every ^Escene He openly ^Awept as he ^Dlistened to ^Eme And then, with the ^Csun in the ^Awest, ^Dhe showed me the ^Esea
