THE RIVER Acoustic by Garth Brooks: Tabbed by Buenofine Calse --------- INTRO: G A G A G A G A D Dsus2 D VERSE 1: (D) Dsus2 D G D You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.

And a dre^Gamer's just a ve^D/F#ssel that must fo^Emllow where it g^Aoes Trying to le^Darn from what's behind him And never kn^Bmowing what's in s^Gtore Makes each d^Day a constant battle Just to st^Aay between the sh^Dores.

CHORUS 1: (D) Dsus2 D G D And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,

Like a b^Gird upon the ^D/F#wind these wa^Emters are my s^Aky I'll never r^Deach my destination i^Gf I never try So I will s^Dail my vessel 'til the ri^Aver runs dr^Dy.^Dsus2 ^D

VERSE 2: (D) Dsus2 D G D Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away

'Til what we p^Gut off 'til t^D#/F#omorrow has ^Emnow become to^Aday So don't you si^Dt upon the shoreline and s^Bmay you're sati^Gsfied Ch^Doose to chance the rapids and d^Aare to dance the t^Dide.

CHORUS 2: (D) Dsus2 D G D And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,

Like a b^Gird upon the ^D/F#wind these w^Ematers are my s^Aky I'll never re^Dach my destination if I never t^Gry So I will s^Dail my vessel 'til the r^Aiver runs dr^Dy.^Dsus2 ^D

BRIDGE:

^D ^Dsus2 And^D there's ^Bmbound to be rough w^Gaters And I k^Dnow I'll take some f^Galls But with the g^Emood Lord as my ca^D/F#ptain G A (changing key into E) I can make it through them all...

FINAL CHORUS: (no chords played or single strum on each chord during the first 2 lines)

And I will s^Eail my vessel 'til the r^Aiver runs d^Ery, Like a b^Aird upon the ^E/G#wind these w^F#maters are my s^Bky I'll never re^Each my destination ^Aif I never try So I will s^Eail my vessel 'til the r^Biver runs d^Ery. ^A Yes, I will s^Eail my vessel 'Til the ri^Bver runs d^Ary... 'Til the river runs d^Ery.

/buend.
