Tablature the river - Bruce Springsteen

          



 The River, Bruce Springsteen

  

  Am                   C             G                 F

  I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young

       Am               C   F              C

  They bring you up to do like your daddy done

         F                                C            G     Am

  Me and Mary we met in high school, when she was just seventeen

        Dm                             C                     F

  We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

  

           Am           F         G                   C

  We'd go down to the river, And into the river we'd dive

      Am          F         G     A

  Oh down to the river we'd ride

  

        Am           C           G                     F

  Then I got Mary pregnant, And man that was all she wrote

          Am               C                    F                  C

  And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat

       F                                   C        G         Am   

  We went down to the courthouse, And the judge put it all to rest

        Dm                                               C                 F

  No wedding day smiles no walk down in the aisle, No flowers no wedding dress

                      Am         F           G                   C

  That night we went down to the river, And into the river we'd dive

     Am            F           G    F

  On down to the river we did ride

  

    Am                    C                   G           F

  I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company

        Am                          C         F             C

  But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy

       F  

  Now all them things that seemed so important

                C                  G        Am      

  Well mister they vanished right into the air

              Dm                              C                   F

  Now I just act like I don't remember, Mary acts like she don't care

          Am                      C

  But I remember us riding in my brother's car

            G                      F

  Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

     Am                      C

  At night on them banks I'd lie awake

               F                             C

  And pull her close just to feel each other breath she'd take

            F                                    C               Am

  Now those memories come back to haunt me, They haunt me like a curse

       Dm                                    C

  Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, Or is it something worse that sends me

  Am            F            G                 C

  Down to the river though I know the river is dry,

                Am          F     G

  That sends me down to the river tonight

  Am           F         G       C      Am        F         G

  Down to the river, My baby and I, Oh down the river we'd ride
