Chords for The Revival Tour AP Office Performance: Rocky Votolato and Dave Hause

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It's based on a short story by a woman named Louise Edridge and it's about two
Native American brothers. _ _
One of them ends up getting drafted for the Vietnam War
and goes off and fights in the war. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's kind of what the song's about.
So it's sort of a, it's a clochette song.
_ _ _ I'm Rocky Votolato.
This song's called Red River.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
This is what life feels like on [Bm] the ground.
_ I [G] had a brother who was stationed in the cold.
[D] He fought in the Navy.
[A] _ [D] He drove by the ship.
_ [Bm] I had a father who loved me.
[G] He had a crew of scientists searching for an ocean ship.
He never [A] known.
[Bm] That feeling you get when the wind is blowing like [G] your whole life is on the line.
We made our [D] decision. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I've been [D] _ searching for a way [Bm] to carry us home.
[G] To the ocean we all came from.
[D] Where we'll all [A] be returned.
I've been _ searching for a way [Bm] to carry us home.
[G] To the ocean we all came from.
Where we'll [D] all be [A] returned.
[G] Whoa. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ I've been all out.
_ [Bm] Just like that night. _ _
[G] The force was spreading and rising.
I thought [D] I'd never [A] be alive.
[D] I'm walking on the wind.
I'm trying to watch out.
[Bm] I'm chasing what's in store.
[G] I'm left behind.
I've been there.
I've been stuck on [D] the edge of [E] that river.
[A] _ _
[Bm] Underneath the dimmer skies [G] and dark,
In the wet water,
The waves [D] keep sailing.
The [A] safter is loose,
The better [G] is the water.
_ Hey!
[D] I've been searching for [Bm] a way to carry us home.
To [G] the ocean we all came from.
[D] Where we'll all [A] be returned.
[D] I've been searching for a way [Bm] to carry us home.
To [G] the ocean we all came from.
[D] Where we'll all be [A] returned.
_ _ Waves will wash [Bm] away the sky in the ocean.
_ [G] _ In a battlefield of _ _ _ [A] _ _
death.
I've [D] been _ searching for a [B] way to [G] carry us home.
To the ocean we all came from.
Where we'll [D] all [D] be [A] returned.
_ [G] _ Silence.
[F#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Whoa!
_ [G] _ [Am] I'm gonna sing that too.
Proud to be [F#] a pirate, son.
_ I'm Dave Haas, this song is called [Am] Prague. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, there'll be some water left,
And now there's nothing [G] left so why?
[D] _ Whoa!
[Am] Listen up, we can't hold it in.
There's space for a life,
For a world, [G] for a time. _
[Am] Whoa!
We can just be like the sailor,
Who's been waking up just because [A] we're [D] 80.
_ [Am] Whoa!
_ Crammed in like so much cattle,
And so many, so many, [G] much Z.
_ _ [F] _
_ Oh, let [C] it be, God's way,
[G] Carry on, carry it [F] in the fire. _ _ _
Oh, let it [C] be, God's way,
[Am] My soul keeps [F] on burning, [G] oh wow.
For [Em] a little while, _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
it's twilight,
For I am the moon, yeah,
And you become the sun.
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Am] Whoa!
I'm the fat drunk, young lady,
And you can be the best, baby.
[G] _ _ _ [Am] Whoa!
I'm so sorry to let you go through nights like these,
But we know we've got a new way [D] to go.
_ [Am] Whoa!
Make it right, we're going to be living,
Life's a way more than anything you've [G] ever known,
And you surely [F] know.
_ Oh, let [C] it be, God's way,
[G] Carry on, carry it [F] in the fire. _ _ _
Oh, let it [C] be, God's way,
[Am] My soul keeps [F] on burning, [G] oh wow.
_ [F] Oh, _ let it be, [C] God's way,
Carry [G] on, carry it in [F] the fire. _ _ _
Oh, let it [C] be, God's way,
My [Am] soul keeps [F] on burning, [G] oh wow.
For a [Am] little while,
_ _ _ _ Please for a little while.
