Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E

Capo 1 [Original key of recording] [Intro] Em G Cadd9 [x2] [Verse 1]

^EmSome days I can't say ^Gwhy I'm feeling ^Cadd9lonely ^EmSome days I am too ^Gproud to ask for ^Cadd9help And I ^Emstumble through the ^Gnoise ^Cadd9Trying to find some peace A ^Am7stranger in the ^Em7crowd, I lose ^Dmyself

[Chorus]

So, I walk ^Cadd9down to the ^Griver Where the ^Cadd9troubles, they can't ^Gfind me Let the ^Cadd9waters there re^Emmind me The sun will be^D there when we ^Bmwake

I walk ^Cadd9down to the ^Griver Though I ^Cadd9might not under^Gstand it It's not ^Cadd9always as we ^Emplanned it But we grow s^Dtronger when we ^Bmbreak [ Em Cadd9 ] G D So, I walk down - to the river [ Em Cadd9 ] G D I walk down - to the river

[Verse 2]

^EmThis raging world can ^Gget so over^Cadd9whelming ^EmLooking for a ^Gmeaning when it ^Cadd9won't make sense In my ^Emhead its getting ^Gloud Like i ^Cadd9can't outrun this cloud No ^Am7matter where i g^Em7o well there i a^Dm

[Chorus]

So, I walk ^Cadd9down to the ^Griver Where the ^Cadd9troubles, they can't ^Gfind me Let the ^Cadd9waters there re^Emmind me The sun will be^D there when we ^Bmwake

[Bridge]

Let the ^Dmcalm pull me under ^Am7Far beyond the thunder ^CTell me it will all be ^Gok ^D Let the ^Dmwaves take all my worries ^Am7Conquer them with fury Give me ^Cshelter, ^Gbe my es^Dcape

[Chorus] [Play quieter and strum one downward stroke for each chord]

So, I walk ^Cadd9down to the ^Griver Where the ^Cadd9troubles, they can't ^Gfind me Let the ^Cadd9waters there re^Emmind me The sun will be^D there when we ^Bmwake [pause]

[resume full strumming pattern]

[ Em Cadd9 ] G D I walk down - to the river [ Em Cadd9 ] G D I walk down - to the river [to the river]

[ Em ^D Cadd9 ] G D to the river [ Em Cadd9 ] G D I walk down ---- oh, oh, oh, oh [ Em Cadd9 ] To the river oh, oh, oh ^GOh, oh, oh, ^Doh [hold]
