#NOTES:
#
#-- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987),
#you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that
#Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing
#that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an
#acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.)
#
#-- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a
#last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being
#scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the
#guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar
#solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed
#live).
There's a hole in the [C]river w[D]here my auntie [A]lies [Em]
Left her car by the [C]river [D]left her shoes be[A]side [Em]
Through the thorns and the [C]bushes[D] I hope she [Am]was ...
[Am/G]Dreaming of [Am/F#]glory
[B]Miles a[Am]bove the[Am/G] mountains and [Am/F#]plains
[B]Free at [Am]last [Am/G] [Am/F#]
We were touched by a [C]cold wind, [D]my father and [A]I [Em]
The sound of desperate [C]breathing [D]her fear inside us [A]all [Em]
She was coming to see [C]him but [D]something changed her [A]mind [Em]
Drove her down to the [C]river
[D]There is no [Am]return

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CROWDED HOUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
