The River

A


[Verse 1]
A
Well come on, you weak of knees
A
Afraid of the thought police
A               F                 A
You who say our generation is forsaken
A
Get out of your clouds of weed
A
Get out of your time machines
A                        F          A
You can say that the sleeper has awakened


[Chorus]
D
A                         D
You gotta scream and shout
D
If you're gonna work this out
F
Change comes when the water falls
F            D                                  A
I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river


[Verse 2]
A
Well the walls are closing in
A
And your head's in constant spin
A                         F          A
And the pain in your eyes I do comprehend
A
Don't believe celebrities
A
The money-suckin’ MPs
A                         F             A
The device in your hands, imitation beauty


[Chorus]
D
A                         D
You gotta scream and shout
D
If you're gonna work this out
F
Change comes when the water falls
F            D                                  A
I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river


[Instrumental]
D    A


[Bridge]
A
Lick your lips like a prize fighter
A
Surely you can take a punch
A
Your knuckles can't get no whiter
A
They're gonna you for lunch, boy
A
So come on


[Outro]
D
A                         D
You gotta scream and shout
D
If you're gonna work this out
F
Change comes when the water falls
F            D                                A
I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river
