Artist: These United States Song: The Great Rivers [http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/these_united_states/the_great_rivers.html] Tabbed by: Kalley Powell Intro C Fmaj7 G D D C G D A G Rain came down twelve-oh-one Em New Year's Eve in old London A G D I could only stand there weeping on the mighty Thames A G Alone and in love and fully alive Em The first time in a lifetime A G D And all those people just floating on the water like a midnight gem C Fmaj7 Will you go with me, bittersweetly, G D Skipping like a stone? D C The great rivers, all the great rivers, G D I've already walked along alone A G It's an upstream journey to you Em Despite the sleight of hand that the cold winds blew A G D The false direction laid atop the current underneath A G But I can forgive nearly anything Em That ends on autumn's tracks to spring A G D Followed you in dreams out to that Mississippi beach C Fmaj7 Will you go with me, bittersweetly, G D Skipping like a stone? D C The great rivers, all the great rivers, G D I've already walked along alone A G It's not that you should stay the night Em It's just that you belong. A G It's not that I'm trying to make things right D I'm just so tired of being wrong. C Fmaj7 Will you go with me, bittersweetly, G D Skipping like a stone? D C The great rivers, all the great rivers, G D I've already walked along alone C Fmaj7 G D D C The great rivers, all the great rivers, G D I've already walked along alone
