Patty Griffin - River

Isn't she a riv^Cer? ^F She doesn't need a dia^Cmond to shine You can't really h^Cave her ^F But you can hold her^C for a time ^F

Takes an a^Bbrmy just to bend her Be^F careful where you send her ^C You can't hold her back for long ^Bb The river is just^F too strong ^C She's a river ^F

Arms made out of s^Cilver ^F Moving in a^C crooked line Carrying some dreamer ^F Off into the ^Cend of time

^BbYou don't need to save her Or ^Fteach her to behave Just let her ^Carms unwi^Bbnd Ever-changing^F and undefined ^CShe's a river

You can ^Bbride her easy when she's slow ^FWalk across her when she's low ^CFollow wherever she goes S^Che's a river

R^Bbun for cover when she's mad Dro^Fwn in her tears when things are bad D^Con't you ever forget it that S^Che's a river

^BbOooh ^Fooh o^Coh ^BbOooh ^Fooh o^Coh

Isn't she a ^Criver? ^F She doesn't need a dia^Cmond to shine So people call yo^Cu clever ^F But she's been a he^Cre a long, long time

And she's ^Bbseen so many faces And ^Fplaces down the line She's been ^Cleft for dead a million times

E^Bbver-changing and unde^Ffined

^CShe's a river ^BbOh, ^Foh s^Che's a river ^BbOooh ^Fooh o^Coh ^CShe's a river
