Eliza Gilkyson - River of Gold
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C G6 F C G6 F
N.C. C Cadd9 C F
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
C Cadd9 C F
If you're lucky you'll find a river of gold
Am G C F
There's all kinda cultures in the universe
Am G C F
For the river of gold I got a powerful thirst
C G6 F C G6 F
And the knife is carving
N.C. C Cadd9 C F
But I don't wanna be some ornament wife
C Cadd9 C F
And I don't need a lover for once in my life
Am G C F
I just wanna get going before I'm too old
Am G C F
Through a train for awhile in the river of gold
C G6 F C G6 F
And the knife is carving
C G6 F C Dm
River of gold_______
G F Csus4
I seem to have lost my direction, somehow
G F Csus4
I've been afraid just to stick my head out
G F C Dm
Travel along 'til I get to where I'm bound
N.C. F C Dm C G6 C F C G6 C F
That river of gold____
C Cadd9 C F
Don't grab my hand, don't stand in my way
C Cadd9 C F
I'll read the stars by night and the cards by day
Am G C F
And when the wheel goes 'round and the story is told
Am G C F
Well it was all for a dream of a river of gold
C G6 F C G6 F
And the knife kept carving
C G6 F
River of gold______
C G6 F C Dm
River of gold______
