"The City and the River"- The Rescues Transcribed by Robin Young Note: The way that the chords are played varies a lot. There are different inversions in the verses (C-/G, Eb/Bb, Eb/G) as well as chords being played without thirds (C-5, Ab5, Eb5). It wouldn't be possible to articulate all of these differences from line to line, but it's a cool sound to vary it up sometimes. INTRO: C- Ab Eb (2x) VERSE 1: C- Two centuries
AbSince I fEbirst saw you weave C- Ab Eb Like a dance around my heart C- You grew wild when it rained AbI dug dEbeep into the slate C- Ab Eb So we'd never be apart
CHORUS:
YoBbu, you always sAbtayed by mEbe YoBbu, you wander but nAbever lEbeave C- Bb Ab Eb And I'm the one who watches over you F-7 That's what I was built to do
C- Ab Eb (2x) VERSE 2: C- Laid the track, poured the streets
AbTies of gEblass and concrete C- Ab Eb Eb9 Eb In silence, you watched what I became C- You lifted me up AbSaid I'd sEbtand at the top Eb9 C- Ab Eb And all the world would know my name
(CHORUS) BRIDGE: F-7 Eb Bb (2x) F-7 Eb Love, don't you weep
Bb You know we cannot keep F-7 Eb Bb This moment here together F-7 Eb If you could only see Bb The beauty that I see F-7 Eb Bb We'd go on forever
VERSE 3: C- And as I turn to rust
AbStart to cEbrack, betray us C- Ab Eb You, you haven't aged a day C- When it's time for me to go AbPromise mEbe that you'll flow Ebmaj7/G C- Ab Eb Until the ocean washes you away
CHORUS:
YoBbu, you always sAbtayed by mEbe YoBbu, you wander but nAbever leEbave C- Bb Ab Eb And I'm the one who watches over you C- Bb Ab Eb I'm the one who watches over you C- Bb Ab Eb I'm the one who watches over you F-7 That's what I was built to do
