River by Ibeyi
I can't believe no one has done this song yet! Thus I take it upon myself to help fellow Ibeyi lovers out.
This is my first tab so might not be 100% correct!
Please leave any helpful suggestions in the comments. [please be nice]
Also, I played it along with the song and will have to say that the guitar compliments it more than blends in
please keep that in mind since there is no guitar on the actual track.
Enjoy!

Capo: 1
[CHORUS]
Am G
Come to your river
Dm Am
I will come to your river
Am G Dm F
I will come to your river

Dm Am

(Wash my soul)
Am G
I will come to your river
Dm F
Wash my soul again
Am G
Carry away my dead leaves
Dm Am
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters

Let the river take them, river drown them
Am G
My ego and my blame
Dm Am
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Am G
Those all means are so ashamed

Let the river take them, river drown them
