This song is pretty simple with only picking three chords and you can strum it if you want. I put two parts to every chord, but I also heard another part on D. The last parts on every chord are mostly meant to be played when the song gets more intense and higher. It's a fun experimental song, try out different way to play it! :)
Verse 1: DCGD River's edge, so quiet and full of potential CGD With weeping trees and just enough nightfall CGD To cover up the strays DC I can hear boats in the distance GD Making saviours out of ordinary people
Chorus 1: CGD Now they sing in a symphony of keepers CGD And they hail in the harmony of saviours
Verse 2: DC You've got to live, live, live, and love, love, love GD Whether you like it or not, I will love you
Chorus 2: CGD Now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly CGD And it's breathing as if from a mouth CGD And the edges are lungs that are heaving CGD And it's breathing now without my help CGD And we turn against the darkness with intention
Verse 3: DCG River's edge, you're all that I have D And a night filled with promises CGD And just enough nightfall to cover up the strays
Chorus 4: CGD Now the river's like horses unbroken CGD And it really is time for a change CGD And it moves and connects with a uniform CGD And the bodies return to their makers CGD And it's good and it's true, let it wash over you CGD Untethered and without a reason
