Strawbs - The River (acoustic)
CAPO: 7th Fret
[Intro]
B7
[Verse 1]
F
I made a sideways motion
Em
Turning a new leaf
F
The single minded miner's girl
C
Was there to share my grief
F
I shivered in the bitter wind
G
Three times the cockerel crowed
B7
I waited for the river
But the river did not flow
[Verse 2]
F
An autumn turned to silver
Em
Winter turned to gold
F
The weatherman said dress up
C
But I did not feel the cold
F
Kids waited with toboggans
G
As I sheltered from the snow
B7
I waited for the river
But the river did not flow
[Instrumental]
F Em F C F G B7
[Verse 3]
F
I will drink the milk from you breasts
Em F
Meld myself to you
Collect the valley lilies
C
The worshippers once strew
F
My body aches with hunger
G
Yet your belly has to grow
B7 E7
I waited for the river
But the river did not flow
