  Amy Grant: Cry A River  

  

  Written by Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick

  Album: Behind The Eyes

  Transcribed by Rok Osojnik

  

  

  This is the saddest, but in my opinion the most beautiful song on the album. 

  

  THIS SONG IS CAPOED AT 2ND FRET.

  All chords are named as if the capo was the nut.

  Sign ! means strum upwards.

  

  

  Chords used:

     G  C  C* C2  Cadd9   D  Dsus2  Dsus4  Em

  e--3--0--3--0-----3-----2----0------3----0----------------------------| 

  b--3--1--1--3-----3-----3----3------3----0----------------------------| 

  g--0--0--0--0-----0-----2----2------2----0----------------------------| 

  d--0--2--2--2-----2-----0----0------0----2----------------------------| 

  a--2--3--3--3-----3-----X----X------X----2----------------------------| 

  e--3--X--X--X-----X-----X----X------X----0----------------------------| 

  

  

  

  Intro:

  G		D		Dsus4

  G		Cadd9

  G		D		Dsus4

  G		Cadd9

  

  

  Verse:

  G           D   Dsus4              C         C*       Cadd9

    Who knew love        would come walkin' through my door

              C        C         D   G

    Turn the light on somewhere down   inside   

  

  G            D      Dsus4  C         C*    Cadd9

    Give me a feeling       I'd never had before

              C

    It was a long wait

           C      D           G

    it was   just   the wrong   time

  

  

  Bridge:

  !Em                   C

      But I hope you'll   hold me now

  Em             C2

      somewhere within

  !Em                C

      And when you think about

  C                    C   D 

      what might have been

  

  

  Chorus:

  G     Cadd9

    Cry        a river

  G       Cadd9

    Flood        the sea

  G        D    C2   G

    Cry a river over   me

  G      Cadd9

    Take       the bitter

  G      Cadd9

    With       the sweet

  G            D    C2   G

    And cry a river over   me

  

  

  (Repeat intro)

  

  

  Verse:

  G                D     Dsus4         C  C*           Cadd9

    And how do you argue       with a feeling in your bones

               C        C         D    G

    'bout what is and what isn't meant   to be

  G                  D

    Some things you live with

  C               C*          Cadd9

    And you never    let it show

              C

    Like the pain I felt

         C     D          G

    The day I watched you   leave

  

  

  Bridge:

  !Em                   C

      But I hope you'll   think of me

  Em               C2

      When tender winds blow

  !Em              C

      Sit on the shores of love

  C                    C   D

      And just let it go

  

  

  

  (Repeat Chorus)

  

  

  Solo (accordion, arranged for guitar):

  

  e---------0---2---0-------|-----------0---2---3----5h7h5---3--3--| 

  b--3------------------0---|--0h2-3-------------------------------| 

  g-----------------------2-|--------------------------------------|

  a-0(let ring)--2h0h2h4h2h0---|-----0h2-|-0(let ring)--2h0h2h4h2h0---|
