------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIVER - AkronFamily ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Erik E-mail: erik.nmgn@gmail.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) What a killer tune! And that chorus, man, brilliant! I updated the other tab by Soupey, it had some chords wrong and I added some basic tabs if you want to play it the way it sounds on CD. It's not that useful when you're playing alone, so in the meantime just learn section A1, B and the chords to the bridge (denoted at section C and G) and you'll be fine! A1 INTRO/VERSE I (chords) F(x81010108) And you are no longer a river to me And you are no longer a river to me Bb(688766) F Though your coursing remain eager to acquaint me And you are no longer a docile stream And you are no longer a docile stream Bb F Though your patience proves you into ease A2 INTRO/VERSE I ('lead ') Fig. 1 (during the F-chord) e|-------| B|-------| G|-10-10-| muted, with
