Standard Tuning 

GUITAR 1 (Raggi) 

 
 

verse 1 
 Am       C             Dm                Am 
Feel the ocean as it breathes, shivering teeth 
           C                  Dm             Am  
See the mountains where they meet, smotherin me 
        C                  Dm                      Am 
As the wind fends off the waves, I count down the days 
        C              Dm 
Heavy stones fear no weather 


INTERLUDE: Am - C - Dm (2x) 




verse 2 
Am       C             Dm                          Am 
I find comfort in the sound, and the shape of the heart 
         C                 Dm                    Am  
How it echoes through the chest from under the ground 
        C                Dm                     Am 
As the hills turn into holes, I fill them with gold 
        C              Dm 
Heavy stones fear no weather 


Chorus 
   Fmaj7         Am                      G 
And from the rain comes a river running wild 

That will create an empire for you 
  Fmaj7        Am                    G         
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 


verse 3 
 Am     C              Dm                    Am 
And I paint your body black, I hide in your hair 
              C            Dm                Am  
And you're staring back at me like I wasn't there 
         C             Dm                    Am 
As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear 
        C              Dm 
Heavy stones fear no weather 


Chorus 2 
   Fmaj7         Am                      G 
And from the rain comes a river running wild 

That will create an empire for you 
  Fmaj7        Am                    G         
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 


Bridge: Fmaj7 - Am - G (2x) 



Chorus 3 
   Fmaj7         Am                      G 
And from the rain comes a river running wild 

That will create an empire for you 
  Fmaj7        Am                    G         
Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 
            Fmaj7  Am 
an empire for you 
               G 
an empire for two 
 Fmaj7   Am    G 
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh   
 Fmaj7     Am    G 
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  
 Dm   Fmaj7  Am      G 
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 Dm   Fmaj7   G   
Oh whoa oh oh oh
