Blood Red River chords by Beth Orton

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Intro:

Am           C
Am           C

Verse 1:
Am
Took a friend I found
           C
Cross some blood red river
Am
Never did find my way home
   C
In time to forgive her

Pre-Chorus 1:
Am              C                E         E7
Why must people always want what they can't have
Am              C                E           E7
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp

Chorus:
Am
How did we get so far
C                  E
How did we move so fast away
         E7               Am
From the lilac-lillied lake
    C               E
I'm sure we used to stay
      E7
Is it only a dream away
Am     C     E    E7

Verse 2:
Am
Took a raft I found
           C
Cross some blood red river
Am
Never did find my way home
           C
In time for my dinner

Am             C                 E
Why must people always want what they never have
Am              C                 E
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled

Chorus:
Am
How did we get so far
C                  E
How did we move so fast away
         E7               Am
From the lilac-lillied lake
    C               E
I'm sure we used to stay
      E7
Is it only a dream away

Am   C       E
                  Only a dream away
Am   C       E
                Away    yeah
Am   C       E

Verse 3:
Am
Lost a friend I found
          C
Down some blood red river
Am
Never did find my way home
          C
In time to forget her
Am              C                  E       E7
Why must people always want what they can't have
Am               C                  E      E7
Why must people always take but forget to ask

Am   C          E
      only a dream    only a dream away
Am   C          E
              away    yeah
Am   C          E      Am
