Notes: There's some really interesting phrasing in this song vocally & musically.
The "DD" in the last verse and the finish are two quick strums on D that are held for 
the remainder of the measure.
I definitely recommend practising with the record to get the vocal phrasing just right.
Also notice that at the last chorus and coda hold the A chord longer, rather than 
stepping up to the B.



INTRO: : A5 ,,, B5 ,,, A5 ,,, B5 ,,, :

A5     B5                 A5     B5
  Sometimes I go to the river
A5     B5                 A5     B5
  Mmm , just to watch it flow
E5    D5            A5      B5
  It ripples & it dances
E5       D5                   A5    B5
  And I don't know where it goes

A5 ,,, B5 ,,,

A5     B5                 A5     B5
  You brought me to the edge
A5       B5               A5      B5
  But I held you to the ground
E5   D5              A5      B5
  I thought I knew better
E5        D5              A5     B5
  Then I let you in the water

A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to  take your hand and
D5                    A5    B5
 Leave behind what I know
A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to follow you into
    D5                           A5     B5
The river and let go of the shore.

A5 ,,, B5 ,,, A5 ,,, B5 ,,, A5 ,,, B5 ,,,

A5  B5                A5     B5
   Once I thought I knew
A5      B5                 A5    B5
   How everything should be
E5          D5           A5     B5
   I would damn up the river
E5           D5                A5    B5
 Blinded by what I wanted to see

A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to  take your hand and
D5                    A5    B5
 Leave behind what I know
A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to follow you into
    D5                           A5     B5
The river and let go of the shore.

DD5             A5          B5
    I tried to change you
DD5               A5     B5
  I didn't understand
DD5               A5          B5
   But now all I want to do
E5            D5               A5
 Is get down on my knees and thank you

A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to  take your hand and
D5                    A5
 Leave behind what I know
A5                  B5
 Baby it's time to follow you into
    D5                           A5
The river and let go of the shore.
DD5                    A5
    And let go of the shore
DD5                    A5
    And let go of the shore
DD5                    A5
