Down To The River

Tabbed by: Masterblaster
Email: *

Tuning: EADGBe

This is the most of it. The other 
tab was good but wasn’t finished and
 was a little bit
to play so I’ve simplified for all. 
You’ll have to listen to the song to
 get the timing
but these are all the notes. The 
chorus is a little iffy but it still
 sounds very close to the recording.

Part 1: This is the nice soft bit 
where all is calm and it’s just 
Bernard and the guitar.

Lyrics: * out the storm, take on the
 wave, don’t run, run, run
          The winds gonna blow and 
the ground’s gonna shake then it’s 
gone, gone, gone
        * not to mourn, shake off 
the pain don’t run, run, run
Continúa después del anuncio
          The world’s gonna spin and
 the earth’s gonna quake then it’s 
done, done, done

Lyrics: If I ask you tenderly will 
you follow me down to the river
        I’ll let you down I’ll break
 your wings
        If you follow me down to the
 river


Note: All of this is played twice 
through. After the chorus the end 
bit of the chorus is
through about six times and then it 
goes into part 2.


Part 2: This is the bit where he 
gets nice and loud and everyone 
joins in. I think he
        uses distortion, phaser and 
tremolo as effects for this part so 
if you got those
        give 'em a whirl and see if 
you can get it right. Remember: The 
forward slash
        between the chords at the 
top of the tab is a slide from chord
 to chord.

Lyrics: I’ve got it all, all ahead 
of me now
        A pattern’s gonna form and 
the wind’s gonna blow me down

Well that’s it. After part 2 it goes
 back to part 1 with the band 
playing this time the
verse is used for the lyrics and it 
fades out with the end of the 
chorus. This is an
song from a great album. If you 
haven’t got it it’s worth getting.
