Down To The River

This is the most of it. The other tab was good but wasn’t finished and was a little bit
to play so I’ve simplified for all. You’ll have to listen to the song to get the timing
but these are all the notes. The chorus is a little iffy but it still sounds very close to the recording.
Part 1: This is the nice soft bit where all is calm and it’s just Bernard and the guitar.

Lyrics: * out the storm, take on the wave, don’t run, run, run
          The winds gonna blow and the ground’s gonna shake then it’s gone, gone, gone
        * not to mourn, shake off the pain don’t run, run, run
          The world’s gonna spin and the earth’s gonna quake then it’s done, done, done
Chorus

Lyrics: If I ask you tenderly will you follow me down to the river
        I’ll let you down I’ll break your wings
        If you follow me down to the river
Note: All of this is played twice through. After the chorus the end bit of the chorus is
through about six times and then it goes into part 2.
Part 2: This is the bit where he gets nice and loud and everyone joins in. I think he
        uses distortion, phaser and tremolo as effects for this part so if you got those
        give 'em a whirl and see if you can get it right. Remember: The forward slash
        between the chords at the top of the tab is a slide from chord to chord.

Lyrics: I’ve got it all, all ahead of me now
        A pattern’s gonna form and the wind’s gonna blow me down
Well that’s it. After part 2 it goes back to part 1 with the band playing this time the
verse is used for the lyrics and it fades out with the end of the chorus. This is an
song from a great album. If you haven’t got it it’s worth getting.
