[D]
[G] [D]
[C] [G] [D]
I just found my new direction and I hope you had the key.
[G] Like the air that led me to it, she's the wind that took me through it.
[D] She's a river and she's turned up the air in front of me.
Stand back, get back, she'll paint your blue sky black.
She gives bulletproof protection, she got a red resurrection for you.
When I'm scared, [G] I think about to lose, she gives me treadless shoes.
[D] She's a river and she's turned up the air in front of me.
I [Em] go black, west to [G] my town, in front [D] of me.
[G] That's where I'm [D] gonna be.
[C] [G] [D] Shine on, get on, twilight from dusk to dawn.
She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee.
[G] Got a myriad of forces, sweet miracles and roses.
[D] She's a river and she's turned up the air in front of me.
I go [Em] black, west to [G] my town, the river's in front [D] of me.
[C] [G] That's where I'm gonna [D] be.
[C] [G] [D]
[G] Shadow,
[D]
cause when [Em] I'm high, I must be [G] the man.
[D] I'm in, level.
[G] [D] See
[C] [G] [D] that every hand has got a thousand wounds, so take me on a freedom ride.
I'm a martyr like a hunter in the silent moon, I never feel electrified.
[G] Meet me on a stick, it's my darkened room, light me like a nickel flame.
[D] A voice from within reaches, says, oh, we must pass.
Nothing here can remain.
[Em] See that every hand rules, [G] take me on a [Am]
freedom ride.
[D] Reach me like a rim to the very top, [C] rush me [G] to the end of time.
[D] You fill me full of danger, give me future shock, [C] then you [Gm] make me waste the time.
[D]
Stand back, get back.
Move [G] on, she's a river.
[D]
And I [Em] go black, west to [G] my town, the river's in front [D] of me.
Stand back,
[G] [D]
[G] [D] she's a river.
She's a river.
[Am] [G] [D] Get
[G] [D] on, twilight [C] from [G] dusk to dawn, she's [D] the spirit of creation.
[C] She's a last [G] chance guarantee.
Stand [D] back, get back.
[C] [G] She's [D] a river.
She's [C] a river in [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[C] [G] [D] me.
