                            "The River Is Wide"

                             (Knight - Admire)

  

  Like at least a couple other Grass Roots hits, someone else did this first -

  in this case the Forum, whose 1967 semi-hit version I much prefer.

  

  Intro:

  

  	 F                         Eb/F            F

  	 v  v  v  v    v  v  v  v    v  v  v  v    v  v  v  v

  	-/-----------|-x--x--x--x--|-/-----------|-/--------X--

  	               ^^^^^^^^^^ bass drum                 ^ snare

  

  Verse 1:

  

  	Bb         Eb/F    Bb        Eb/F

  	 v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v

  	-/-----/-/---/---|-/-----/-/---/---

  

  	 Bb    Eb/F  Bb      Eb/F  Bb       Eb/F Bb   Eb/F

  	The sky was clear on that windy day

  	 Bb            Eb/F Bb       Eb/F Bb          Eb/F Bb   Eb/F

  	'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray

  	Eb           /Bb   Eb             /Bb   Eb          /Bb  Eb    /Bb

  	   The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above

  	 F       /C  F       /C       F            /C  F

  	Then fell a drop of rain to start our love

  

  Chorus:

  

  	                      Ebm7                   Ab

  	[1: Let the river get wide], the river gets long, now

  	[2: And the river gets wide]

  	              Dbmaj7                    Bbm

  	The water runs deep as our love gets strong now

  	                   Ebm7                 Ab

  	So baby, don't you fight and say you belong now

  	1:   Fm7/Bb [hold 2 bars]

  	2:   Fm7/Bb [hold 6 bars]

  	3-5: Fm7-5/Cb  Bb

  	   To me

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain

  	With the rhythm of our heartbeats, down it came

  	As it hit each drop  our hearts could feel the pain

  	No one on earth can stop a drop of rain

  

  [repeat chorus 3X; fade 3rd time]
