Rivers

my first chords , dont be too mean ; ) can’t believe noones uploaded this yet! one of my favs from the new album , had to be done . A/E means play the bass note E ( 3rd string ) . G - a or E - means quickly strum the chord preceding the " - " before going straight back to the following chord ( so for the E - , its E then A ) . this just adds a little something to the song . also , i find it sounds nice to play the a with the G string open ( making it A7 perhaps? i’m no expert 002200 ) . hope this helps! tabbed by : benjamin s email : benjamin@jamindesigns . co . uk tuning : standard capo : none E G G - A E E A/E E - our history runs down our rivers A b? E down our rivers to the sea E A/E E - reminds us of the things that matter A b? E home and heart and history E A/E E - and all our sins will be forgiven A b? E washed away to set us free E A/E E - by the rivers that run through our homesteads A b? E by myth and modal melody F# A i traced these rivers from the cities to the seas E B to remind me of what i already know F# A i traced the shorelines through a thousand esturies E B to remind me an island is my home E an island is my home i traveled far across this country northumberland to southern downs i wandered up the rolling humber and down the thames to london town countless lives were lived and lingered in the cuts , swerves , and the fells i left a tapestry called england and life and those who lived it well i traced these rivers from the cities to the seas to remind me of what i already know i traced the shorelines through a thousand histories to remind me an island is my home an island is my home round here the sky is a little closer a little closer to the ground it’s hard for someone to get lost here harder still to get found though i’ve seen a thousand rivers from the mississippi to the rhine the only place that i’ll lay my hat down is by an english riverside i traced these rivers from the cities to the seas to remind me of what i already know i traced the shorelines through a thousand histories to remind me an island is my home an island is my home E F# so place your trust into the sea A B it’s kept us safe for centuries E F# it shaped our shores and steadily A B its care has brought us , calm E F# when i die , i hope to be A B buried out in english seas E F# so all that then remains of me A B will lap against these shores E until england is no more
