     	BY THIS RIVER - Brian Eno

Tabbed and arranged for guitar by: Matteo Tognela

Tuning: Eb MajorEb AbAb D MajorD G+G BB e

This weird tuning is the only way I've come up with to play
the song in its original key.
Except for the bass note, shifting from Bb majorBb -> G+G -> Eb MajorEb -> G+G
the melody repeats itself through the 4 sections.

The chord progression is Bb majorBb G minorGm Eb MajorEb Gm.

Listen to the original song to catch the timing. Maybe I'll
put something for the solo in Ver.2, for now just hum ;-)

Enjoy =)

Lyrics:

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling
down, down, down
Ever falling down.

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we
 came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.

You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another
 time, time, time,
From another time.
