Opening Riff

e ----------------------        -------0-2\-----0-----|  or you can even try
B ----------------------        -0-0-3------0-3---0---|  playing it on the D
G ----------------------        ----------------------|  and G strings high on
D -----0-2--4\---0-2----   or   ----------------------|  the neck.  I like the
A -2-2---------2-----2--        ----------------------|  first, "bass" version
E ----------------------        ----------------------|  when playing alone
                                                       with one guitar.

Verse:
                      Em
They say it's a waste
    Bm
A waste of water
       A                         E
Don't let it run through the cracks
                           Em
But you roll it like a wave
   Bm
A wall of water
  A                    Em
Slides right off your back

Pre-chorus:
C#m       G*
By the way
                         Bm
You'll be happy just to learn
     E  E  C  C  C#m
I've given up on you
          G*
By the way
                         Bm
You'll be happy just to learn
     Em Em  C  C  E
I've given up on you    e --0--0--2--4h5p4--  these "extra" parts are
Em Em  C  C  E                                difficult to include with
Given up on you   e --0--0--2--0h2p0--        only one guitar

Chorus:
G   C(9)      Dsus4
Down to the river
        D
The river I run
G   C(9)      Dsus4
Down to the river
       D     Am
The river I run
Am
Point my face to the water
                Em
My feet to the sun

Opening Riff

Verse:
They say you have your ways
Your ways about you
Beautiful lips tell lies
I'm going through a phase
Like a moon without you
Howling to cold black skies
