Okay, this song is easy, and it's a great tune.
Intro: F F Am G
Verse 1:
FI met you in F82,
over a Amcrate of beer and Gnot a few
FI cracked a can and Fso did you,
Amwe're going to change Gthe world
FThe ghetto kings of Gdownside town
Amthe estates and parks of Gour hallowed ground
FDoing anything Fthat we found,
Amand on the river Gflowed
You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you - you knew your place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed
Chorus:
AmOn and on the river flow - Fwe are Gthe Fundertow
AmOn and on the river flow - Fwe are Gthe Fundertow
Verse 2:
I don't know how you made it through
all the smoke and brew you do
It sure has left its mark on you
but you're still with us today
Life goes on and round we go
and words can kill these things I know
Sometimes you cut deeply so,
but on the river flows
You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising god
But man can't live on hope alone,
it can be cut all that is grown
Broke your spirit but not your bones
and on the river flows
Chorus:
Chorus:
AmOn and on the river flow - Fwe are Gthe Fundertow
AmOn and on the river flow - Fwe are Gthe Fundertow
Verse 3: (No music, just drums. You can strum open palm muted strings on this bit and it
pretty good.)
You're working now - forced to the race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide had covered your face
Nothing you could do
But I still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true
Outro:
Fon and on and Fon and on and Amon and on and Gon
Fand on and on Fand on and on Amand on the rivGer flowed
Fon and on and Fon and on and Amon and on and Gon
Fand on and on Fand on and on Amand on the rivGer flowed
End
