Capo 1 (Original key of recording)
[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Some days I can t say why I m feeling lonely
Some days I am too proud to ask for help
And I stumble through the noise
Trying to find some peace
A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself
[Chorus]
So, I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can t find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It s not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
( )
So, I walk down - to the river
( )
I walk down - to the river
[Verse 2]
This raging world can get so overwhelming
Looking for a meaning when it won t make sense
In my head its getting loud
Like i can t outrun this cloud
No matter where i go well there i am
[Chorus]
So, I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can t find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It s not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
( )
So, I walk down - to the river
( )
I walk down - to the river
[Bridge]
Let the calm pull me under
Far beyond the thunder
Tell me it will all be ok
Let the waves take all my worries
Conquer them with fury
Give me shelter, be my escape
[Chorus]
(Play quieter and strum one
downward stroke for each chord)
So, I walk down to the river
Where the troubles, they can t find me
Let the waters there remind me
The sun will be there when we wake (pause)
(resume full strumming pattern)
I walk down to the river
Though I might not understand it
It s not always as we planned it
But we grow stronger when we break
( )
So, I walk down - to the river
( )
I walk down - to the river
( )
I walk down - to the river
( )
I walk down - to the river (to the river)
( () )
to the river
( )
I walk down ---- oh, oh, oh, oh
( )
To the river oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh (hold)
