"Listen To The River" (From the "Wake" Album)
by: Emmet Swimming
Tabed by: Eric Wiltshire
Listen and play along with the song in order to get the strumming
patterns because they vary from verse to chorus
Chords: (Intro)
D A E G x2
[verse]
D A
Have you ever seen it flow
E G
And wonder where it goes....as it tumbles
D A
While standing on the shore
E G
There's things you ignore....as it falls apart
D A
Have you ever seen a raven gasping
E G
Dying breath just to go away
D A
Have you ever seen a cloud that's laughing
E G (rythm change) D (verse runs into chorus)
You have to wait for it, it's not to late for it
[chorus1]
A E G D
There's a sound on the river tonight
A E G
Put your head down and you will hear
D A E G
Voices crying the river's dying
D A E G D A E G (rythm change)
No on ever....listens to the river
[verse]
D A
The water that surrounds
E G
Forever falling down....as it makes it's way
D A
Trip upon the shore
E G
Keep trying to ignore....all the things you see
D A
Have you ever watched it rain on Sunday
E G
Have you ever tried to stare into the sun
D A
It's burnt on every hill and byway
E G (rythm change) D (verse runs into chorus)
It's not to late for it, you have to pray for it
[chorus2] x2
A E G D
There's a song on the river tonight
A E G
Put your head down and you will hear
D A E G
Voices crying the river's trying
D A E G D
No one ever
A E G D
When you come on the river tonight
A E G
Put your head down and you will hear
D A E G
Voices crying the river's dying
D A E G D
No one ever....listens to the river
[bridge to chorus2 repeat]
D A E G x2
[repeat chorus2]
I figured this out in like 5 minutes so it might not be completly
accurate but it's close enough. Good Luck with it!
I'm open for any comments or suggestions.

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 EMMET SWIMMING 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.
