River Of Sorrow

	  		
verse 1 

G               D 
There is a black river 
    Em           C 
It passes by my window 
   G 
And late at night 
           D 
All dolled up like Christ 
          Em 
I walk the water 
           C 
Between the piers 

 
        G  D 
Singing woah, 
Em       C  G   D 
River of sorrow, 
Em       C  G   D 
River of time, 
Em       C  G   D 
River of sorrow, 
      Em          C 
Don't swallow this time

verse 2 
            G             D 
For we all know the baby has expired 
     Em                          C 
Long ago she was pulled from the mire 
        G                        D 
And no precious liar or well-wisher 
        Em                    C 
Can return the love that was stolen 

 
   G   D 
So oh, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow, 
Em       C  G D 
River of time, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow 
       Em           C 
Don't swallow this time 


Bridge 
C 
Can you see the light 
        D              Em 
At the end of the dark passageway? 
C                                  Am  D 
Take me with you towards the light 
C                                   D              Em 
Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river 
C              Am                B 
Hear me, I'm whispering in your ear 


   G   D 
So oh, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow, 
Em       C  G D 
River of time, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow 
       Em           C 
Don't swallow this time 
   G   D 
So oh, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow, 
Em       C  G D 
River of time, 
Em       C  G D 
River of sorrow 
       Em           C 
Don't swallow this time
