Walk the River Chords & Lyrics by Guillemots
Walk the River
guitar chords lyrics
Wonderful new song from the Guillemots! Mind you, I defy you to make it sound good
on a single instrument - the song is deceptively simple :p
Same four chords all the way through:
(original key Bm Fm A E, starting note F#)
I've tabbed at the place it best suits my female singing voice (Gm Dm F C). The
jury is out as to whether Fyfe is singing "hunted" or "haunted".
==WALK THE RIVER==
No Chord (starting note D; if you need a chord it's Dm)
Fell in love with a boy
Grew tired of it
Fell in love with the world
Yearned to fly from it
Fell in love with myself
Get off for the breeze
Well get off for the weather
Verse 1: just bass
Gm Dm
Walking slowly through space
F C
Pleased and terrified
Gm Dm
Backing out of the race
F C
Extra edified
Gm Dm
I want my sentences back
F C Gm
Can't remember their faces
(Instr line): Dm
F C Gm
Can't remember their faces
CHORUS:
Gm Dm
And I'm still here
F C [and so on, same four chords]
Holding on, and nothing, man
Gm Dm
Stand on my life
F C
Rewriting my delivery
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
(Gm Dm F C x2)
VERSE 2: twinkly
Everything was the life
The summer holidays
Christmastime in the drive
Always out of rain
Sit down and fall on a star
Did someone mention the weather
Did someone mention the weather
CHORUS 2: add second voice harmony
And I'm still here
Holding on to nothing, man
Stand on my life
Here is my delivery
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
(Instrument break tune [original key]):
F# C# D# B. F# C# D# B D# F# F F# G# A
(not sure of the chords here. Please submit if you are :)
Gm Dm
It's an endless conversation
F C
With an endless voice,
over endless fascination
Over endless choice,
and my heart's going out of missions
on imagined motorways
I never said I was right,
I just hoped you thought it anyway
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
Like a haunted animal
Walk the river
You haunted animal
Walk the river
We have lost all animals
(repeat chords to out...)
(original key Bm Fm A E, starting note F#)
