THE HOLY RIVER
PRINCE
* *
NOTE: See below to see how to play the A, F#m.
They really are an Aadd9/E , F#m7/11/E.
I didn't put them that way so as not to
clutter the chord tab. But do play them that
way if you want to. Either way works.
Play the VERSE like this:
If you notice you are basically sliding down holding
the same strings for the Emaj7, F#m7/11/E, and E chords.
A* F#m*

A Emaj7 F#m E
Let's go down 2 the holy river
A Emaj7 F#m E
If we drown then we'll be delivered
A Emaj7
U can still see the picture upon the wall
F#m E
One eye staring at nothing at all
A Emaj7 F#m E
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
A Emaj7
U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide
F#m A
U can't run from yourself and what's inside
A Emaj7 F#m E
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear
BREAK:
D C#m
So over and over U ask your soul
D E
Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
D C#m F#m E
And the voice inside says 2night the truth will be told
VERSE:
A Emaj7
U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
F#m E
Spending your time in all the wrong places
A Emaj7 F#m E
Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry
A Emaj7
People say they love U when they wanna help
F#m E
But how can they when U can't help yourself?
A
The more they say they love U,
Emaj7 F#m E
The more U just wanna die
A Emaj7
So here we go again, the self analysis
F#m E
Have another glass of Port and uh.. forget this
A Emaj7
The band's playin' at the club 2 night
F#m E
And they're bound 2 groove
BREAK:
D C#m
There U are, U think U're high
D E
U can't ask yourself cuz U'd only lie
D C#m F#m E
If U had a dollar 4 every time U tried
VERSE:
A Emaj7
U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up
F#m E
Come and make love when U really hate 'em
A Emaj7 F#m E
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
VERSE::
E A Emaj7
They're over and done oooh ooooh
F#m E
(They're over and done) oooh oooh
E A Emaj7
U'd rather have fun oooh oooh
F#m E
With only one,
A
With only one
Emaj7
Only one
F#m
Only one
E E
One
VERSE:
A Emaj7
And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
F#m E
Who gave U life when there was none at all?
A Emaj7 F#m
Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? (Ooh,alright)
E
Let me tell it (Go'n)
A Emaj7
If U ask God 2 love U longer
F#m E
Every breath U take will make U stronger
A
Keepin' U happy (happy)
Emaj7 F#m
And proud 2 call His name (Go'n and say it)
E
Jesus (Jesus)
BREAK:
D C#m
And over and over U ask your soul
D E
Why'd U come down 2 a world so cold?
D C#m F#m
And the voice inside said 2night the truth will be told
E
And this time I was listening, hear me
VERSE:
A Emaj7
Let's go down 2 the holy river
F#m E
If we drown then we'll be delivered (Yes we will)
A Emaj7 F#m E
If we don't then we'll never see the light (No-oh)
A Emaj7
If U die before U try
F#m E
U'll have 2 come back and face the light (Oh yes)
A
When U believe it,
Emaj7 F#m E
U got a good reason 2 cry (Oh my, my)
A Emaj7
So, went on down 2 the holy river
F#m A
I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her
A Emaj7 F#m E
I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried
A Emaj7
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
F#m E
And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow oh, and wine
A Emaj7 F#m E
Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
A Emaj7
And when I see that picture up on the wall
F#m E
The one eye staring at nothing at all
A Emaj7 F#m
My eyes trying 2 focus but these are much different tears
E
Oh, yes they are
ONE STRUM - LET RING - Then sing ACAPELLA
D
Let's go down 2 the holy river
