Capo: 7 Tuning: E A D G B E

Strawbs - The River (acoustic) CAPO: 7th Fret [Intro] B7 [Verse 1]

I ^Fmade a sideways motion ^EmTurning a new leaf The ^Fsingle minded miner's girl Was ^Cthere to share my grief I ^Fshivered in the bitter wind Three ^Gtimes the cockerel crowed I ^B7waited for the river

But the river did not flow [Verse 2]

An ^Fautumn turned to silver ^EmWinter turned to gold The ^Fweatherman said dress up But I ^Cdid not feel the cold Kids ^Fwaited with toboggans As I ^Gsheltered from the snow I ^B7waited for the river

But the river did not flow [Instrumental] F Em F C F G B7 [Verse 3]

^FI will drink the milk from you breasts ^EmMeld myself to you ^F

Collect the valley lilies

The ^Cworshippers once strew My ^Fbody aches with hunger Yet your ^Gbelly has to grow I ^B7waited for the r^E7iver
