THE RIVER Acoustic by Garth Brooks: Tabbed by Buenofine Calse
---------

INTRO:

G    A G    A G    A G     A D Dsus2 D

VERSE 1:
(D)                       Dsus2 D         G             D
You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
         G               D/F#             Em             A
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes
            D
Trying to learn from what's behind him
            Bm               G
And never knowing what's in store
            D
Makes each day a constant battle
          A                D
Just to stay between the shores.


CHORUS 1:
(D)               Dsus2 D            G         D
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
        G            D/F#         Em           A
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
            D                    G
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
           D                        A          D Dsus2 D
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.


VERSE 2:
(D)                     Dsus2 D            G            D
Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away
              G            D#/F#       Em           A
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today
               D                         Bm            G
So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied
  D                              A                 D
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.


CHORUS 2:
(D)               Dsus2 D           G          D
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
        G            D/F#        Em            A
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
             D                              G
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
           D                       A           D Dsus2 D
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.


BRIDGE:

D   Dsus2 D        Bm                 G
       And there's bound to be rough waters
              D                   G
       And I know I'll take some falls
                     Em               D/F#
       But with the good Lord as my captain
              G                    A        (changing key into E)
       I can make it through them all...


FINAL CHORUS: (no chords played or single strum on each chord during the first 2 lines)
            E                       A          E
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
        A            E/G#        F#m           B
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
             E                  A
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
           E                       B          E     A
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
             E
Yes, I will sail my vessel
           B         A
'Til the river runs dry...
                     E
'Til the river runs dry.
