Row Him Home Chords & Lyrics by The Wailin' Jennys
Row Him Home
guitar chords lyrics
As far as I know, these are the ONLY Row Him Home chords on the Internet, because
I can't find a single other one anywhere. I don't know why, cuz it's a GREAT song.
I'm not sure if this is completely right, but it's definitely playable. The real
chords are F, C, Bb, and C, but Bb is a doozy so I thought I'd make it easier. We
guitarists are lazy folk. Let me know if you find any mistakes or things that
could be changed. (Email me at [email protected] if you have any changes
that you think should be made, or even any suggestions.) Enjoy! :)
- Mal
Capo 3
Chords used: D, A, G, Bm
Verse 1:
D A
Across that river
G A
Thru the orange squares of light
D A
Past the streetlamps
G A
Like a beacon in the rain
D A
You've stopped in all this motion
G A
You're heavy with news too sudden
D A G A
You're breathing through this undertow of pain
Bm A
And all your friends will gather soon and you'll
G A
Surface then to bring them through, you'll say,
D A G D
It's better this way, and at least we knew
Bm A
But this practice in leaving,
G A
All these small moves to grieving,
G A
Does it ever really promise what's deserved?
Chorus:
D A
Cuz you wanna take him in your arms
G A
And carry to the river
D A
Find the boy he once was
G D
And row him home
Bm A
You want a majesty restored
Bm A
Find the place where love was born
G A
And let him go
G Asus A
And let him go
Let him go
D, A, G, A
D, A, G, A
Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
Many Sundays pass since the day of his first leaving
And you've stopped asking for the role to be reversed
With the grace that follows those who know what love is
You held his hand and walked towards this strange rebirth
And as the friends gather round to bear witness
You struggle with the fight to find some peace, to make it worth it
Chorus:
D A
Cuz you wanna take him in your arms
G A
And carry to the river
D A
Find the boy he once was
G D
And row him home
Bm A
You want a majesty restored
Bm A
Find the place where love was born
G A
And let him go
G Asus A
And let him gooooo (hoooooome)
D A
You wanna take him in your arms
G A
And carry to the river
D A
Find the boy he once was
G D
And row him home
Bm A
You want a majesty restored
Bm A G Asus
Find the place where lo-ooooove....
Asus A D A G A
Hoooooooooome....yeah

D, A G, A
Oooh hooooo
D A G D
