Pj Harvey – The River chords

[Verse 1]
         B5                  F# E5And they came to the river
         B5                  F# E5And they came from the road
       B5                  F# E5And he wanted the sun
        B5                  F# E5Just to call his own

[Verse 2]
         B5                  F# E5And they walked on the dirt
         B5                  F# E5And they walked from the road
          B5                  F# E5'Til they came to the river
          B5                  F# E5'Til they came up close

[Chorus]
           B5                  G5 F#5Throw your pain in the river
           B5                  G5 F#5Throw your pain in the river
           B5                  G5 F#5Leave your pain in the river
      B5                  G5 F#5   N.CTo be washed away slow

[Verse 3]
       B5                  F# E5And we walked without words
       B5                  F# E5And we walked with our lives
    B5                  F# E5Two silent birds circled by


[Chorus]
       B5                  G5 F#5Like a pain in the river
        B5                  G5 F#5And the pain in the river
        B5                  G5 F#5And the white sun scattered
        B5                  G5 F#5Washed away this slow

[Verse 4]
       B5                  F# E5And we followed the river
       B5                  F# E5And we followed the road
       B5                  F# E5And we walked through this land
       B5                  F# E5And we called it a home

[Verse 5]
       B5                 D5 G5But he wanted the sun
      B5                 D5 G5And I wanted the whole
        B5                 D5 G5And the white light scatters
        B5                 D5 G5And the sun sets low

[Chorus]
       B5                  G5 F#5Like a pain in the river
        B5                  G5 F#5And the pain in the river
       B5                  G5 F#5Like a white light scatters
        B5                  G5 F#5To be washed away slow
       B5                  G5 F#5Like a pain in the river
       B5                  G5 F#5Like a pain in the river
         B5                  G5 F#5Like the way life scattered
      B5                  G5 F#5To be washed away slow
