In The Rapids

second to last track on genesis’s 1975 masterpiece ( and disasterpiece ) album "the lamb down on broadway" . these are the chords . this may not be 100% accurate , but you can play whole song and sing the original melody easily this way . | B E B A | | B E B G#m | | F#sus2 | Dmaj7 | | Asus2 | G#m | F#sus2 | Dmaj7 | the pattern is simple Asus2 moving down the water G#m john is drifting out of sight F#sus2 it’s only at the turning point Dmaj7 that you find out how you fight Asus2 in the cold , feel the cold G#m all around . . . F#sus2 and the rush of crashing water Dmaj7 surrounds me with its sound it’s the same chord progression through the whole short song . the vocals and the band in intensity as the track goes on , but the chords remain the same . here are the chords tabbed out . keep in mind , i fingerpick everything i play , so my chords are the simplest ones and may be different from the ones most flat pickers use . if you flat pick , mute the x’d on each chord while strumming or play your barre chords . B E A Asus2 G#m F#sus2 Dmaj7 E - - - x - - - - 4 - - - - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - 4 - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - | B - - - 4 - - - - 5 - - - - 2 - - - - 0 - - - - 4 - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - | G - - - 4 - - - - 4 - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - 4 - - - - 1 - - - - 2 - - - - | D - - - 4 - - - - x - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - x - - - - x - - - - 0 - - - - | A - - - x - - - - x - - - - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - x - - - - x - - - - x - - - - | E - - - x - - - - x - - - - x - - - - x - - - - 4 - - - - 2 - - - - x - - - - | one of the best tracks on the album in my opinion . i play a version of it regularly straight into "it . " , a song which i will be posting the chords for soon . let the record show that as of this date ( oct . 17 , 2010 ) , i have never found a tab/Chord this song online or in print in my years of searching! now one is available for to learn and share .
