Chords with lyrics
Amanda Bergman, in Idiot Wind, wrote "Try to Bend a River" on piano.
These are the chords she uses.
She usually adds a high D MajorD on the end of lines when she plays an A augmentedA chord.
This would be done on the BB string up from the C#.
The chords are correct.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA A augmentedA
G+G G+G A augmentedA A augmentedA
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
Don't know if I would fight about my love for you
G+G A augmentedA
I know I am not always
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
sane, but what if I can't do
G+G A augmentedA
someone else something good.
G+G
Walking over water
F# minorF#m
hoping to remember
G+G
what was worth in trying
B minorBm A augmentedA
to see the same log falling
G+G
silently passing
F# minorF#m
the gap between the windows
G+G
waiting for all sounds
B minorBm A augmentedA
you will be among them
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
Want to find a way to keep up with
G+G A augmentedA
wild horses and split branches.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
Wait to see where my heart goes
G+G
it's not dancing
A augmentedA
it's crawling
G+G
And standing on the table
F# minorF#m
trying to bend the river
G+G
drawing dotted lines
B minorBm A augmentedA
looking out for the beginning
G+G
shine like paper
F# minorF#m
push me into strangers
G+G
picturing a child
B minorBm A augmentedA
sleeping on a pony
B minorBm
head full of water
A/C#A/C# A augmentedA
I'm dreaming of ice
B minorBm
you've got something to trust in
A/C#A/C# A augmentedA
when nothing is falling down
G+G
And standing on the table
F# minorF#m
trying to bend the river
G+G
drawing dotted lines
B minorBm A augmentedA
looking out for the beginning
G+G
Shine like paper
F# minorF#m
push me into strangers
G+G
picturing a child
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
sleeping on a pony
