Graham Parker Mighty Rivers Lyrics

Mighty Rivers Lyrics

Pre>intro: the chords I have worked out here consist of two base notes only.
Some of them are power chords (neither major nor minor, no 3rd)

D5	 55xxxx
Bm*	 75xxxx
Asus4	55xxxx (same as d*)
G5	  35xxxx
A5	  57xxxx
Dsus2	 xx0230
/ /	 / /	 / /	 /  /
The intro sequence I think, is this d5	  bm*	  asus4 g5 a5

Verse
Bm*	   d5	  bm*	  asus4	 g5	  d5	 d d dsus2 d
Darlin’ wake up now, I’m makin’ a promise that I’m gonna keep
Bm*		 d5		bm*	 asus4    g5	  a5
I’ll never give up now, when love is a passion that can’t go to sleep

Chorus
A5		d5 g5	a5			d5		  g5	   a5
Until the mighty rivers,	 until the mighty oceans dry up, I’ll be your man
A5		  d5	g5 a5			   d5		  g5	  a5
Until the mighty rivers		all run dry and fade away girl you understand

Verse
They tell you there’s no chance, for love to be stable when everything shakes
It only took the one glance, for my heart to tremble and my soul to quake

Repeat chorus (plus)
A5		  bm* d5		   a5 d5
Till the mighty rivers	ooh mighty rivers,

Bridge
Bm*		d5	bm*		 d5
Ooh can you hear me as you run into my back
Bm*			d5	 bm*		   a5
And the customs never clear me, they want to put me behind black

Repeat intro

Verse
Oh darlin wake uh up now, before there’s no sunshine left up in the sky
I’ll never give up now, let’s shed all the teardrops and let our hearts dry

Repeat chorus (plus)
D5			 bm*		   d5
Until the mighty rivers,  the mighty rivers,	 the mighty rivers,
Bm* 	    d5		 bm*
The mighty rivers, the mighty rivers, the mighty rivers,

Repeat chorus
D5  a5 bm*	    g5 a5 d5
Till the mighty rivers oooooh mighty rivers... /pre>
