Biografia:
The Grass Roots aka simply Grass Roots, were a hugely successful pop rock group that despite charting 29 Top 100 singles from 1967 to 1972 and being on the Billboard charts an astounding 307 straight weeks during that time, never quite had a number 1 single.

"The River Is Wide"
(Knight - Admire)
Like at least a couple other Grass Roots hits, someone else did this first -
in this case the Forum, whose 1967 semi-hit version I much prefer.
Intro:
F Eb/F F
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
-/-----------|-x--x--x--x--|-/-----------|-/--------X--
^^^^^^^^^^ bass drum ^ snare
Verse 1:
Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F
v v v v v v v v
-/-----/-/---/---|-/-----/-/---/---
Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F
The sky was clear on that windy day
Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F Bb Eb/F
'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray
Eb /Bb Eb /Bb Eb /Bb Eb /Bb
The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above
F /C F /C F /C F
Then fell a drop of rain to start our love
Chorus:
Ebm7 Ab
[1: Let the river get wide], the river gets long, now
[2: And the river gets wide]
Dbmaj7 Bbm
The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
Ebm7 Ab
So baby, don't you fight and say you belong now
1: Fm7/Bb [hold 2 bars]
2: Fm7/Bb [hold 6 bars]
3-5: Fm7-5/Cb Bb
To me
Verse 2:
Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
With the rhythm of our heartbeats, down it came
As it hit each drop our hearts could feel the pain
No one on earth can stop a drop of rain
[repeat chorus 3X; fade 3rd time]
