Carly Simon – Like A River (Guitar)

     C#                      A#m7               F#               G#sus2 G#
Dear mother, the struggle is over now, and your house is up for sale

      C#                 A#m7            F#6            F#/G# G#
We divided your railway watches between the four of us

   C#6             A#m7  F#2             F#/G#
I fought over the pearls, with the other girls

           C#6         A#m7           F#2             F#/G#
But it was all a metaphor for what is wrong with us

       B9                                  B9/D#
As the room is emptying out, your face so young comes into view

           G#7                                    F#/G#   G#            F#/G#
And on the back porch, is a well-worn step, and a pool of light you can walk into

     D       A          E          E
I'll wait no more for you, like a daughter

     D            A                E     E/G#
That part of our life, together is over

    E      F#m7       E     A   E
But I will wait for you, forever...

       B
Like a river

Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx, do you know any more about God?

        C#6                     A#m7              F#2       F#/G#
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin on the face of the moon?

         C#6              A#m7          F#2                 F#/G#
Have you reconciled with Dad, does the rain still make you sad?

     C#6                    A#m7              F#2           F#/G#
Last night I swear I could feel you moving through my room

      B9                                 B9/D#
And I thought you touched my feet, I so wanted it to be true

        G#9              G#7              F#/G#     G#             F#/G#
And in my theater there is a stage, and a footlight you can always step into

     D       A          E          E
I'll wait no more for you, like a daughter

     D            A                E     E/G#
That part of our life, together is over

    E      F#m7       E     A   E
But I will wait for you, forever...

In the river I know I will find the key and your voice will rise like spray

       C#6                    A#m7            F#2           F#/G#
In the moment of knowing the tide will wash away my doubt

       C#6             A#m7           F#2             F#/G#
'Cause you're already home, making it nice for when I come

         C#6            A#m7                   F#2                   F#/G#
Like the way I find my bed turned down, coming in from a late night out

       B9                               B9/G#
Please keep reminding me of what in my soul I know is true

Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me, and two or three stars that we can gaze into

     D       A          E          E
I'll wait no more for you, like a daughter

     D            A                E     E/G#
That part of our life, together is over

    E      F#m7       E     A    A/C#   E    E
But I will wait for you, forever...
