Kyla La Grange - The River Throughout the song there's a pattern which is fairly easy to work out but not so easy to tab, so I'll omit that. Try improvising around the chords and you'll find it sounds similar, or listening to the original if you want it to be exact. Either way, a brilliant song with some brilliant lyrics, so have fun with it. -INTRO- C (4 bars) -VERSE-
CWhen I was 10 years old I alwayFs needed to be tolGd C That I should not be frightened Fby the fact that we grow olGd C AmBut as the days slipped by I feltF the pressing needG to cry C And I quiAmckly understood exaFctly why they'd hadG to lie C
CIn the daylight I could cope, becaFuse the sun seemed full of Ghope C I laughed enough for two grown meFn and learnt I could tell jokesG C But saAmdness has a subtle Fface and then it came tGo gloat C We heaAmrd about the girl and Fboy hung by their skipping Grope C
-CHORUS-
Isn't it toAmo hard to GconCceive Doesn't it bringAm you to yourG knees? C And allAm I GwaFnt to do C is to flAmoat with the riverG so free. C
Now, fear is not a gentle thing although it has no fists It crawls down from your thoughts and ties you by your skinny wrists Death will take your lips from you so that you cannot kiss But fear will leave you screaming out for all the love you'll miss And I had a friend who thought he knew exactly where he stood A place in heaven's safe for him as long as he did good But life and love ran through his veins and opened up his mind Now he's got his gun but a new terror sings at night Isn't it too hard to conceive Doesn't it bring you to your knees And all I want to do is to float with the river so free And Larkin is the master in this poetry of fear But he could never capture what cried darkly in his ears And he would understand that though I wrote these words to sing These petty verses cannot hope to tell you anything Isn't it too hard to conceive Doesn't it bring you to your knees And all I want to do is to float with the river so free So everyday I'll stop these thoughts before they'll take a hold Lying in my bed pretending that I won't grow old And maybe when I'm 84 I'll sit and sing this song Just hope that if I do then this fear is dead and gone Isn't it too hard to conceive Doesn't it bring you to your knees And all I want to do is to float with the river so free Isn't it too hard to conceive Doesn't it bring you to your knees And all I want to do Is to float with the river so free Is to float with the river so free Is to float with the river so free
