The River Acoustic

	  		D     C                Bb     A 
 As I walk through the valley of the 
 F      C/E D 
 shadow of  L.A. 
     D         C         Bb      A 
 The footsteps that were next to me have 
 F          C/E       D 
 gone their separate ways 
           D        C              Bb        A 
 I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't 
 F      C/E       D 
 always stay that way 
            D       C              Bb        A 
 I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't 
 F    C/E        D 
 everything they say 


Pre-Chorus: 

 F              G 
   I heard that evil comes disguised 
 F                             G 
   like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light 

Chorus: 

 Dm             Bb 
   Baptized in the river I've seen a 
 F                       G 
 vision of my life And I wanna be delivered 
 Dm                Bb 
   In the city I was a sinner I've done a 
 F                         G 
 lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer 
 Dm               Bb 
   Like the prodigal son I was out on my 
 F                     G                Dm 
 own Now I'm trying to find my way back home 
                 Bb        F             G            D 
 Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered

verse 2: (power chords) 

D                        C             Bb      A 
 You’re from a small town You're gonna grow up fast 
 F    C/E         D 
 underneath these lights. 
         D      C         Bb   A 
 Down in Hollywood on the boulevard, the 
 F         C/E     D 
 dead come back to life. 
        D       C          Bb      A 
 To the praying Mother the worried Father, 
 F        C/E      D 
 Let your children go. 
    D         C            Bb        A 
 If they come back they'll come home stronger, and 
 F       C/E          D 
 if they don't you'll know 


Pre-Chorus: 
 F               G 
   They say that evil comes disguised 
 F                             G 
   like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light 

Chorus: 

 Dm             Bb

 F                       G

Dm                  Bb 
   In the city I was a sinner I've done a 
 F                         G 
 lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer 
 Dm              Bb 
   Like the prodigal son I was out on my 
 F                     G                Dm 
 own Now I'm trying to find my way back home 
                 Bb        F             G 
 Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered 

 Dm              Bb           F     G 
   Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered 
   Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
