As recorded by Elbow (From the 2011 Album BUILD A ROCKET BOYS!) [Intro] Dmaj7 Em Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 [Verse 1]

E        C        A        D         E  
I walked with the river in kind of a dream

        C         A           D         E
Hand in hand, the all-knowing river and me

       C          A     D    E
To the clammer of rushes and deeply barren trees

  A                     D               E
A drunk making blossom, the blush to be seen

[Interlude] D Em Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 [Verse 2]

E             A       D               E
I told him my sorrows and broken-down dreams

E               A      D            E
Confessed every lie, replayed every scene

          A          D           E
He openly wept as he listened to me

                   C          A     D                E
And then, with the sun in the west, he showed me the sea
