Patty Griffin – River (Guitar)

               C    F
Isn't she a river?

                      C
She doesn'€™t need a diamond to shine

                  C       F
You can't really have her

                    C           F
But you can hold her for a time

          Bb
Takes an army just to bend her

  F                           C
Be careful where you send her

                                 Bb
You can't hold her back for long

                 F           C
The river is just too strong

               F
She'€™s a river

                  C     F
Arms made out of silver

           C
Moving in a crooked line

                      F
Carrying some dreamer

             C
Off into the end of time

Bb
You don't need to save her

   F
Or teach her to behave

             C        Bb
Just let her arms unwind

             F
Ever-changing and undefined

C
She's a river

        Bb
You can ride her easy when she's slow

F
Walk across her when she's low

C
Follow wherever she goes

 C
She's a river

 Bb
Run for cover when she's mad

   F
Drown in her tears when things are bad

 C
Don't you ever forget it that

 C
She's a river

Bb   F    C
Oooh ooh ooh

Bb   F    C
Oooh ooh ooh

            C      F
Isn'€™t she a river?

                      C
She doesn'€™t need a diamond to shine

                 C        F
So people call you clever

                   C
But she's been a here a long, long time

          Bb
And she's seen so many faces

    F
And places down the line

           C
She's been left for dead a million times

 Bb                   F
Ever-changing and undefined

C
She's a river

Bb  F   C
Oh, oh she's a river

Bb   F    C
Oooh ooh ooh

C
She's a river
