<< Back to Peter Gabriel Song List
Version 1
            [Intro]
C
River, river, carry me on
C
Living river, carry me on
F/C           C
River, river, carry me on
Bb/C                      C
To the place where I come from


[Verse 1]
C  F/D       C/E           F                          C
So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a  ride
C  G/B        Am               F                 C
If I   should fall, would you swallow me deep inside
C      F/D     G/B    C        F                    C
River, show me how to float, I feel like I'm sinking down
Am/C    C    Em/B  G/B    F       C
Thought that I     could     get along


[Chorus]
    C    Am/F         D/F#      Fmaj7/G   Dm/G        C
But here      in this water, my feet won't touch the ground
C  Am/F  D/F#         Fmaj7/G    Dm/G    C
I  need  something to turn    myself   around


[Verse 2]
C    F/D   C/E     F              C
Go - ing  away,   away toward the sea
C    G/B  Am              F                  C                 
Ri - ver  deep,   can you lift up and carry me
C   F/D      G/B         C      
Oh  roll on through the heartland
         F                C          
'Til the sun has left the  sky
Am/C  C    Em/B  G/B     F          C
Ri  - ver,  ri - ver,      carry me high


[Chorus]
          C      Am/F   D/F#     Fmaj7/G  Dm/G    C
'Til the washing of the water,   make it  all  alright
C        Am/F   D/F#           Fmaj7/G     Dm/G   C
Let your waters reach me, like she reached me  tonight


[Bridge]
        Am          C/G                Fmaj7
Letting go, it's so hard, the way it's hurting now
   D/F#     E/G#    Am
To get this love untied
            C/G                            Fmaj7
So tough to stay with this thing, cos if I follow through
  D/F#      E/G#    Am
I face what  I    denied
               C/G
I'll get those hooks out of me
         Fmaj7                     D/F#      E/G#     Am
And I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
                  C/G             Fmaj7         C
Kill that fear of emptiness, that loneliness I hide


[Chorus]
C    Am/F       D/F#     Fmaj7/G  Dm/G    C
Ri - ver,    oh river,   river    running deep
C     Am/F   D/F#               Fmaj7/G  Dm/G     C
Bring me    something that will let me   get to sleep
        C      Am/F    D/F#             Fmaj7   Dm/G   C
In the washing of the water    will you take it  all  away
C     Am/F   D/F#        Fmaj7/G    Dm/G    C
Bring me    something to take this  pain   away
