Gli accordi di The River di Bruce Springsteen

Gli accordi di The River di Bruce Springsteen per chitarra.
The River è una canzone del cantautore statunitense Bruce Springsteen tratta dall’album omonimo del 1980. Fu pubblicata come singolo in alcuni paesi europei, ma non negli Stati Uniti.
La canzone fu eseguita in pubblico per la prima volta durante i concerti dell’evento No Nukes organizzati dal collettivo antinuclearista Musicians United for Safe Energy al Madison Square Garden nel settembre del 1979, molto prima di essere pubblicata. In questa occasione, Springsteen raccontò di essere stato ispirato, nella stesura del brano, dalla vicenda familiare di sua sorella Virginia, rimasta incinta a 17 anni, e del cognato.
Il singolo entrò in classifica raggiungendo il 5° posto in quella norvegese del 1981. Nel 1995 fu inserito anche nella raccolta Greatest Hits e nel 2003 in The Essential Bruce Springsteen.
È stata inserita dai critici di acclaimedmusic.net come 25^ canzone più bella del 1980, 239^ degli anni ottanta e 1341^ di tutti i tempi

[Verse]
  MIm                     SOL
I come from down in the valley
       RE                   DO
Where mister, when you're young
       MIm             SOL  DO               SOL
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
        DO
Me and Mary we met in high school
       SOL           RE    MIm
When she was just seventeen
      LAm
We'd drive out of this valley down
     SOL                     DO
to where the fields were green
[Chorus]
         MIm          DO        RE                    SOL
We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive
    MIm          DO          RE  DO
Oh down to the river we did ride
[Verse]
     MIm                SOL       RE                      DO
Then I got Mary pregnant And man, that was all she wrote
    MIm           SOL                      DO                  SOL
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
    DO
We went down to the courthouse
         SOL           RE       MIm
And the judge put it all to rest
    LAm
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
     SOL                   DO
No flowers, no wedding dress
[Chorus]
                    MIm          DO
That night we went down to the river
    RE                    SOL
And into the river we'd dive
    MIm          DO            RE   DO
Oh down to the river we did ride

[Verse]
   MIm                     SOL               RE               DO
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
     MIm                      SOL              DO                 SOL
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
    DO
Now all them things that seemed so important
              SOL                 RE            MIm
Well mister they vanished right into the air
           LAm
Now I just act like I don't remember
     SOL                    DO
Mary acts like she don't care
[Verse]
         MIm                      SOL
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
          RE                      DO
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
    MIm                      SOL
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
               DO                      SOL
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
           DO
Now those memories come back to haunt me
      SOL        RE      MIm
They haunt me like a curse
       LAm
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
   SOL                DO
Or is it something worse
[Chorus]
               MIm          DO
That sends me down to the river
           RE                SOL
Though I know the river is dry
               MIm          DO       RE   DO
That sends me down to the river tonight
 MIm          DO        RE       SOL
Down to the river my baby and I
    MIm          DO        RE  DO
Oh down to the river we ride
[Outro]
MIm  DO  RE  SOL
Ooh..
MIm  DO  DO
Ooh..
