The Wallflowers – Move The River (Guitar)

Am
It's not the shadow of a lost plane

       F                   C
Or the rumble of a railway line

       F
Coming with the strength of an iron horse

        C              F
And without you on its mind

F
I've been sitting on the fire escape of the

C                F
Fairmont looking down

Dm
There's not a bridge going anywhere

C              F
You'd wanna be found

Am                      F
It's not a good idea to cross it

   C                    F
It may not have another side

F
May be hot enough to melt your clothes

        C              F
But you won't step out alive

F
You're gonna wanna get your lamp lit

      C              F
Can't nobody see you now

Dm
It's not as dark as it's gonna get

            C                    F
And we're a long way from higher ground

               F         Dm  Am  C
There's no way around it

               F         Dm  Am
There's no way around it

                  F
However you feel about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

                 F
However you feel about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

Am                        F
The sky's the color of an ashtray

        C                 F
Full of Van Gogh's yellow clouds

F
And those aren't gospel songs you hear

      C           F
Being sung in the crowd

F
May a ladder appear in the smoke

          C           F
Through a hole we can climb

Dm
See the torches on a battered boat

     C                      F
Of a ghost ship without any guide

               F         Dm  Am  C
There's no way around it

               F         Dm  Am
There's no way around it

                  F
However you feel about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

                 F
However you feel about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

Am
We've been sleeping in the backseat

       F                 C
On our rooftops and open roads

           F
Soon we'll be riding on oil cans

        C              F
Wearing everything that we own

F
If men are all brothers then brother

C                        F
Why do you treat us this way?

Dm
We've already been overserved

       C                        F
May be sick but not too much to say

               F         Dm  Am  C
There's no way around it

               F         Dm  Am
There's no way around it

                  F
However you feel about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

                  F
Whatever you do about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

                  F
Whatever you do about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river

            F
No two ways about it

            Dm       Am
We're gonna move the river
