The River

C                  Am       F   
I went down to the river, I 
                  C
jumped right in and I drowned
    C                   Am        
But there was nobody to see me so 
Dm          G
I was never found
  Dm               Am             
Nobody to come and call out my 
      F                        G
name and drag back my body to the 
ground
    F            G        Am     
And that's how I always remember 
    G
the day...

C             Am       F        
I went out to desert I laid 
           C
right down and died
C                     Am         
Wolves were eating my fingers and
     Dm                         
 the vultures were coming for my 
 G
eyes
     Dm                     Am    
With scorpions crawling all over 
          F                     G
my face my body was covered with 
flies
    F            G        Am     
And that's how I always remember 
    G
the day...

           C       Am      Dm     
That I was born... born... born... 
 G
born
          Em                   Am
And every time the words still ring
            Em                   
And all the scars still feel the 
Am
same
            F
And all the words don't mean a thing

I know the pain will start again

             Em             Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
              Em              Am
When will the darkness have a name
           F
I'm moving faster and faster away
           Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
                   C
From the day I was born.

C                Am          F  
I went up to the mountain, I 
                C
buried myself in a cave
C                        Am      
I made my peace with the silence,
     Dm                    G
 and I knew I would not be saved

  Dm                   Am         
I heard not a word nor whisper, 
    F             G
and I quietly faded away
    F            G        Am     
And that's how I always remember 
    G
the day...

           C       Am      Dm     
That I was born... born... born... 
 G
born

            Em             Am
And all the faces start to fade,
           Em                Am
All the mistakes that I have made
            F
And now the clouds can melt away
            Fm
And now the sun can shine again

             Em             Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
             Em                 Am
I’ll let the darkness walk with me
           F
I'm moving faster and faster away
           Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
                   C
From the day I was born.
