This is the version of the River that I saw Ed play live on Vh1, it sounds pretty close the CD version so, here are the chords. Live normally tunes to Eb, but this is a tab and it sounds really close. This is like my second tab, so bear with me, I'm open to If you want to correct something or just need it as a reference, my email address, ufo_sk8r@yahoo.com. Note: When you strum the D chord on the verse sort of add some extra notes like e|-3(G) the top string. That might sound a little odd but listen to the song and you'll know I mean.

That's all, I'm a little fuzzy about the bridge, but it should sound alright.
