?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.
