Gently We Row Melissa Etheridge
Intro:
[C] [G] [Am] [C]
[F] [C] [Gsus4] [G]
When [C]my soul crashed [G]into my [Am]body[C]
[F]Falling int[C]o consciousn[G5]ess[G5]
[F]That's when my m[C]ind be[Dm]gan this il[C]lusion
Of [F]taking it s[C]tep after [G5]step[G5]
[Am]I looked in[G]to mother's [F]eyes[C]
I said [Am7]tell me what [F]I should beli[G5]eve[G5]
She [F]drew me a [C]room with a [Dm7]light[C]
said [F]just turn it [G]off when you [C]leave[C]
Chorus:
[C]Slow, [G]slow, this [Am]river is [C]slow
[F]We're all out [C]here on our o[G]wn[G]
[Am]Row, [G]row, [C]gently we [F]row[F] [F] [F]
[F]One day we'll f[G]ind our way h[C]ome[C]
[C]Step after [G]step they [Am]drew me a [C]town
they[F] drew me a f[C]ear and a ne[G5]ed[G5]
They[F] drew me a g[C]od, and they [Dm]drew me some [C]money
[F]hiding the [C]truth far from [G5]me[G5]
[Am]I asked the [G]cool fire [F]light[C]
[Am7]Tell me, what [F]I should bel[G5]ieve[G5], they
[F]gave me a s[C]ong and they [Dm7]gave me a [C]dance, and said
[F]sleep now your p[G]ain will rel[C]ieve[C]
---Chorus---
I've[Am] stumbled and [Em7]crawled I've [F]begged to know [C]why
[Am] and I've been a-[Em7]shamed when I've [F]chosen to l[G]ie
In[Am] all of this [Em7]darkness I have[F] searched for a [C]light
to[Dm] come and find [Dm]me[Dm] [Dm]
And[G] when I found [Gsus4]me[G] [G]
I [C]wrapped my arms [G]round my own [Am]daughter[C]
as [F]she fell into [C]her place and [Gsus4]time[G]
[F] and as her [C]mind cre[Dm]ates her ill[C]usions
I [F]won't compli[C]cate hers with [Gsus4]mine[G]
[Am]She looked in[G]to her [F]mother's eyes[C]
she said [Am7]tell me what [F]I should beli[Gsus4]eve[G]
And I[F] drew her a d[C]oor and I [Dm7]drew her a key[C]
and I[F] said when you're [C]ready you'll [Dm7]come and find [C]me
and we'll[F] walk out of h[C]ere and to[Dm7]morrow will [C]be a new
[G]dayy[Gsus4]yyyyyy[F]yy[F]y
[C]Slow, [G]slow, this [Am]river is [C]slow
[F]And you're never out [C]here on our o[Gsus4]wn[G]
[Am]Row, [G]row, [C]gently we [F]row[F] [F] [F]
[F]And together we'll f[G]ind our way.
[C]Slow, [G]slow, this [Am]river is [C]slow
[F] Life is [C]not what it [Gsus4]seems[G]
[Am]Row, [G]row, [C]gently we [F]row[F] [F]
The[F] truth is
It's [G]only a [C]dream
