The River Tab par Bruce Springsteen

INTRO: Em G D C Em G C

VERSE 1:
  Em                    G             D                  C
I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young
     Em              G   C               G
They bring you up to do, like your daddy done
       C                                G            D    Em
Me and Mary we met in high school, when she was just seventeen
     Am                                G                     C
We'd drive out of this valley, down to where the fields were green

CHORUS:
        Em          C          D                   G
We'd go down to the river, and into the river we'd dive
        Em          C          D   C
Oh, oh, down to the river we'd ride

VERSE 2:
     Em         G             D                    C
Then I got Mary pregnant, and man that was all she wrote
    Em                G                       C                   G
And for my nineteenth birthday, I got a union card, and a wedding coat
   C                                    G            D      Em
We went down to the courthouse, and the judge put it all to rest
   Am                                             G                   C               
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle, no flowers, no wedding dress

CHORUS:
                   Em          C         D                   G    
That night we went down to the river and into the river we'd dive
        Em          C            D   C
Oh, oh, down to the river we did ride

HARMONICA SOLO (verse chords): Em G D C   Em G C G   C G D Em  Am G C

VERSE 3: 
  Em                   G                  D              C
I got a job working construction, for the Johnstown company
    Em                      G               C                 G
But lately there ain't been much work, on account of the economy
     C                                                           G              D        Em
Now, all them things that seemed so important, well, mister they vanished right into the air 
           Am                              G                   C 
Now I just act like I don't remember, Mary acts like she don't care

VERSE 4:
        Em                     G                       D                       C
But I remember us riding in my brother's car, her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
   Em                      G                       C                       G
At night on them banks I'd lie awake, and pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
          C                                    G        D      Em
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
     Am                                    G               C             
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse

CHORUS:
              Em          C               D                 G
That sends me down to the river, though I know the river is dry
              Em          C       D    C
That sends me down to the river tonight

CHORUS:
Em          C         D        G
Down to the river, my baby and I
        Em          C        D   C
oh, oh, down to the river we ride

ENDING (chorus chords to fade): Em C D G  Em C D C
