The River chords
Tim Buckley 1968 (Blue Afternoon)

Capo III

A

  A           G
I live by the river
                     A
And I hide my house away
                   G
Then just like the river
                A
I can change my ways
A                  G
Oh, if you come to love me
               A
You ll stay forever
G
Inside my heart
          A
Inside my dreams

G                 F A
And time will fade
G                 F A
In time we'll love

A                        G
In the street we walk as beggars
                       A
In the alley faithless kings
                 G
Ah, but it's the truth of life
                    A
That chains us in between
A          G
Those lost moments we steal
                  A
To keep our love alive
        G
And our prize so tired 
              A
after all the pain

G                 F A
And time will fade
G                 F A
In time we'll love

G A 3x

G F A

  A           G
I live by the river
                     A
And I hide my house away
                   G
Then just like the river
                A
I can change my ways
A                  G
Oh, if you come to love me
               A
You ll stay forever
G
Inside my heart
          A
Inside my dreams

G                 F A
And time will fade
G                 F A
In time we'll love

G A 3x . . .
