The Dutchess and the Duke: The River

C                  Am       F                     C
I went down to the river, I jumped right in and I drowned
    C                   Am        Dm          G
But there was nobody to see me so I was never found
  Dm               Am                   F                        G
Nobody to come and call out my name and drag back my body to the ground
    F            G        Am         G
And that's how I always remember the day...

C             Am       F                   C
I went out to desert I laid right down and died
C                     Am              Dm                          G
Wolves were eating my fingers and the vultures were coming for my eyes
     Dm                     Am              F                     G
With scorpions crawling all over my face my body was covered with flies
    F            G        Am         G
And that's how I always remember the day...
C       Am      Dm      G
That I was born... born... born... born
          Em                   Am
And every time the words still ring
            Em                   Am
And all the scars still feel the same
            F
And all the words don't mean a thing
           Fm
I know the pain will start again

Em             Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
              Em              Am
When will the darkness have a name
           F
I'm moving faster and faster away
           Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
                   C
From the day I was born.

(Guitar solo, play verse chords)

C                Am          F                  C
I went up to the mountain, I buried myself in a cave
C                        Am           Dm                    G
I made my peace with the silence, and I knew I would not be saved

Dm                   Am             F             G
I heard not a word nor whisper, and I quietly faded away
    F            G        Am         G
And that's how I always remember the day...

C       Am      Dm      G
That I was born... born... born... born

Em             Am
And all the faces start to fade,
           Em                Am
All the mistakes that I have made
            F
And now the clouds can melt away
            Fm
And now the sun can shine again

Em             Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
             Em                 Am
I?ll let the darkness walk with me
           F
I'm moving faster and faster away
           Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
                   C
From the day I was born.
