Find the River R.E.M.
R.E.M. - FIND THE RIVER
Tuning: Drop D
I noticed that other chord sets for this song, while correct,
sound rather boring to me. Tuning to Drop D allows you to
play the bass line along with the chords for a sound much more
like the record.

[D] [-] [Dm/F] [-] [A7sus4]
[D]Hey now little s[Dm/F]peedy head, the [Dsus2/E]read on the speedmete[G]r says
you h[D]ave to go the [Dm/F]task in the [A7sus4]city.
Where [D]people drown and p[Dm/F]eople serve, [Dsus2/E]Don't be shy, your j[G]ust deserve
is [D]only just l[Dm/F]ight years to [A7sus4]go.
[G]Me, my thoughts are flowe[A]r strewn, o[D]cean storm, baybe[Em]rry moon.
[G]I have got to leave[A] to find my [D]way
[G]Watch the road and mem[A]orize this life [D]that pass befor[Em]e my eyes,
[G] nothing is go[A]ing my way[D]
[D] [-] [Dm/F] [-] [Dsus2/E] [-] [G]

The[D] ocean is the ri[Dm/F]vers goal, a need [Dsus2/E]to leave the water k[G]nows.
We're [D]closer now than l[Dm/F]ight years to g[A7sus4]o.
[G]I have got to fi[A]nd the river, b[D]ergamot and ve[Em]tiver
[G] Run through my h[A]ead and fall away[D].

[G] nothing is go[A]ing my way[D].
*REPEAT INTRO RIFF*
There's [D]no one left to t[Dm/F]ake the lead, but [Dsus2/E]I tell you and yo[G]u can see
We're clos[D]er now and lig[Dm/F]ht years to [A7sus4]go.
P[D]ick up here and [Dm/F]chase the ride. The [Dsus2/E]river empties t[G]o the tide;
[D]Fall into the [Dm/F]ocean.[A7sus4]
The [G]river to the oc[A]ean goes, a for[D]tune for the und[Em]ertow.
[G] None of this is [A]going my w[D]ay.
[G]There is nothing le[A]ft to throw of g[D]inger, lemon, i[Em]ndigo,
[G] Coriander st[A]em and rose of hay[D].
Str[G]ength and courage ove[A]rrides these priv[D]ileged and wear[Em]y eyes of
[G]River poet se[A]arch naivete[D].
[G]Pick up here and cha[A]se the ride, the r[D]iver empties to t[Em]he tide.
[G] All of this is c[A]oming your way.[D]
