E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| THE RIVER - Elbow E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tuning: Standard I've tabbed an acoustic guitar arrangement of the piano and guitar parts heard in the song. Aim to let everything ring on for as long as possible to allow for the sustain pedal. Intro: Bm/D Em/G Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 (harm.)
