"The River Is Wide"
(Knight - Admire)
Like at least a couple other Grass Roots hits, someone else did this first -
in this case the Forum, whose 1967 semi-hit version I much prefer.
Intro:
[F]v v v v v v v v [Eb/F] v v v v [F]v v v v
 
 -/-----------|-x--x--x--x--|-/-----------|-/--------X--

^^^^^^^^^^ bass drum ^ snare
Verse 1:
[Bb] v v v [Eb/F] v [Bb]v v v [Eb/F] v
 
 -/-----/-/---/---|-/-----/-/---/---

T[Bb]he sky[Eb/F] was c[Bb]lear on [Eb/F]that w[Bb]indy day[Eb/F] [Bb] [Eb/F]
'[Bb]Til the clear [Eb/F]blue [Bb]sky began[Eb/F] to t[Bb]urn to gray[Eb/F] [Bb] [Eb/F]
[Eb] The lightn[/Bb]ing fl[Eb]ashed, the thun[/Bb]der ro[Eb]ared above[/Bb] [Eb] [/Bb]
T[F]hen fell[/C] a d[F]rop of r[/C]ain to st[F]art our love[/C] [F]
Chorus:
(1: Let the river get [Ebm7]wide), the river gets l[Ab]ong, now
(2: And the river gets wide)
The water runs[Dbmaj7] deep as our love gets str[Bbm]ong now
So baby, don't you [Ebm7]fight and say you bel[Ab]ong now
1: Fm7/Bb (hold 2 bars)
2: Fm7/Bb (hold 6 bars)
3-5: Fm7-5/Cb Bb
To me
Verse 2:
Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
With the rhythm of our heartbeats, down it came
As it hit each drop our hearts could feel the pain
No one on earth can stop a drop of rain
(repeat chorus 3X; fade 3rd time)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
