     The River


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret

Intro:
 
C Em F (x3)
Am Em F
 
First Verse:
        C              Em
In the latest midnight hour 
          F
When the world has gone to sleep 
              C Em F
You gotta get up 
      C              Em
When doubts begin to rise 
         F
And the world is at your feet 
              Am Em F
You gotta get up 
 
 
Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems 
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else, 
     F
For anyone but myself 
 
 
C Em F (x2)
 
 
Second Verse:
     C            Em
I'm not a selfless man 
     F
I'm not a man of wealth 
      C          Em
If I had all the world, 
          F
Probably give it to myself 
          C            Em
But the trees begin to walk 
          F
And the ground begins to talk 
         Am Em F
And myself 
 
 
Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems 
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else, 
     F
For anyone but myself 
 
 
Dm Am C (x2)

Hold my place 
               G
Don't you give up on me 
 
Hold on... Hold on
 
 
Chorus:
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems 
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else, 
     F
For anyone but myself 
 
C Em F                       C Em F
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems 
    C           Em F              Am Em
I cleanse in the river for somebody else, 
     F
For anyone but myself

CHORUS


In the latest midnight hour
When the world has gone to sleep
You gotta get up
When doubts begin to rise
And the world is at your feet
You gotta get up
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
I'm not a selfless man
I'm not a man of wealth
If I had all the world,
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
And myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Hold my place
Don't you give up on me
Hold on, hold on
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else

In the latest midnight hour
When the world has gone to sleep
You gotta get up
When doubts begin to rise
And the world is at your feet
You gotta get up
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
I'm not a selfless man
I'm not a man of wealth
If I had all the world,
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
And myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Hold my place
Don't you give up on me
Hold on, hold on
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
