The City and the River by The Rescues Guitar Chords


?The City and the River?- The Rescues
Transcribed by Robin Young

Note: The way that the chords are played varies a lot. There are different
inversions in the verses (C-/G, Eb/Bb, Eb/G) as well as chords being played
without thirds (C-5, Ab5, Eb5). It wouldn?t be possible to articulate all of these
differences from line to line, but it?s a cool sound to vary it up sometimes.

INTRO:
C- Ab Eb (2x)

VERSE 1:
[C-]Two centuries
Since I first saw you weave
Like a d[C-]ance around my heart
You grew w[C-]ild when it rained
I dug deep into the slate
So we?d n[C-]ever be apart

CHORUS:
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And [C-]I?m the one who watches over you
[F-7]That?s what I was built to do

C- Ab Eb (2x)

VERSE 2:
Laid the t[C-]rack, poured the streets
Ties of glass and concrete
In s[C-]ilence, you watched what I became
You [C-]lifted me up
Said I?d stand at the top
And all the w[C-]orld would know my name

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
F-7 Eb Bb (2x)

[F-7] Love, don?t you weep
You know we cannot keep
[F-7] This moment here together
[F-7] If you could only see
The beauty that I see
[F-7] We?d go on forever

VERSE 3:
And as [C-]I turn to rust
Start to crack, betray us
Yo[C-]u, you haven?t aged a day
When it?s t[C-]ime for me to go
Promise me that you?ll flow
[Ebmaj7/G]Until the o[C-]cean washes you away

CHORUS:
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And [C-]I?m the one who watches over you
[C-]I?m the one who watches over you
[C-]I?m the one who watches over you
[F-7]That?s what I was built to do

[C-]
