[Intro]
Esus4 E Esus4 E
Em C B Em Em C B Em
[Verse]
Em C B Em
Lights were dancing, footsteps of a mouse
Em C B Em
On a postage stamp, I saw a picture of our new house
Em C B Em
Red roof and magnolias, a field of olives trees
Em C B Em
A green River is rising, nearly to my knees
[Chorus]
G D Am C G D C G D C E
Green River, Green River, Green River take my soul out to the see
[Interlude]
Em C B Em Em C B Em
[Verse]
Em C B Em
Raisin bread and honey, not as sweet as you
Em C B Em
If I could tell you a fortune, would I lie or would I tell the truth
Em C B Em
Depending if it brought you, to my arms or distant shores
Em C B Em
A green River is rising, even higher than before
[Chorus]
G D Am C G D C G D C E
Green River, Green River, Green River take my soul out to the see
[Interlude]
Em C B Em Em C B Em
[Verse]
Em C B Em
Three rings on my fingers, past, present and fade
Em C B Em
One came from Mississippi the other from different state
Em C B Em
A state of forgiveness, contradiction and the blues
Em C B Em
A green River is rising, water filling up my shoes
[Chorus]
G D Am C G D C G D C E
Green River, Green River, Green River take my soul out to the see
[Interlude]
Em C B Em Em C B Em
[Verse]
Em C B Em
This ship ain't moving, its attached to the land
Em C B
Last night I slept in a bunk bed, dreamin I was in prision
Em
With a dangerous man
Em C B Em
I woke up to the river, who crept past us while we slept
Em C B Em
A green River is rising, until my eyes are soaking wet
[Chorus]
G D Am C G D C G D C E
Green River, Green River, Green River take my soul out to the see
G D Am C G D C G D C E
Green River, Green River, Green River take my soul out to the see
