The River The Dutchess and The Duke
<i></i>The Dutchess and the Duke: The River
[C]I went down to the [Am]river, I [F]jumped right in and I [C]drowned
But [C]there was nobody to [Am]see me so [Dm]I was never [G]found
No[Dm]body to come and [Am]call out my name and [F]drag back my body to the [G]ground
And [F]that's how I [G]always re[Am]member the [G]day...
[C]I went out to [Am]desert I [F]laid right down and [C]died
[C]Wolves were eating my [Am]fingers and the [Dm]vultures were coming for my [G]eyes
With [Dm]scorpions crawling all [Am]over my face my [F]body was covered with [G]flies
And [F]that's how I [G]always re[Am]member the [G]day...
That I was [C]born... [Am]born... [Dm]born... [G]born
And every [Em]time the words still [Am]ring
And all the [Em]scars still feel the [Am]same
And all the [F]words don't mean a thing
I know the [Fm]pain will start again
If there's a [Em]darkness in my [Am]soul
When will the [Em]darkness have a [Am]name
I'm moving [F]faster and faster away
I'm moving [Fm]faster and faster away
[C]
(Guitar solo, play verse chords)
[C]I went up to the [Am]mountain, I [F]buried myself in a [C]cave
[C]I made my peace with the [Am]silence, and [Dm]I knew I would not be [G]saved
I [Dm]heard not a word nor [Am]whisper, and I [F]quietly faded [G]away
And [F]that's how I [G]always re[Am]member the [G]day...
That I was [C]born... [Am]born... [Dm]born... [G]born
And all the [Em]faces start to [Am]fade,
All the mis[Em]takes that I have [Am]made
And now the [F]clouds can melt away
And now the [Fm]sun can shine again
If there's a [Em]darkness in my [Am]soul
I'll let the [Em]darkness walk with [Am]me
I'm moving [F]faster and faster away
I'm moving [Fm]faster and faster away
[C]
