The Dutchess and the Duke: The River 

C                  Am       F                     C 
I went down to the river, I jumped right in and I drowned 
    C                   Am        Dm          G 
But there was nobody to see me so I was never found 
  Dm               Am                   F                        G 
Nobody to come and call out my name and drag back my body to the ground 
    F            G        Am         G 
And that's how I always remember the day... 

C             Am       F                   C 
I went out to desert I laid right down and died 
C                     Am              Dm                          G 
Wolves were eating my fingers and the vultures were coming for my eyes 
     Dm                     Am              F                     G 
With scorpions crawling all over my face my body was covered with flies 
    F            G        Am         G 
And that's how I always remember the day... 

           C       Am      Dm      G 
That I was born... born... born... born  
          Em                   Am 
And every time the words still ring 
            Em                   Am 
And all the scars still feel the same 
            F 
And all the words don't mean a thing 
           Fm 
I know the pain will start again 

             Em             Am 
If there's a darkness in my soul 
              Em              Am 
When will the darkness have a name 
           F 
I'm moving faster and faster away 
           Fm 
I'm moving faster and faster away 
                   C 
From the day I was born.

C                Am          F                  C 
I went up to the mountain, I buried myself in a cave 
C                        Am           Dm                    G 
I made my peace with the silence, and I knew I would not be saved 

  Dm                   Am             F             G 
I heard not a word nor whisper, and I quietly faded away 
    F            G        Am         G 
And that's how I always remember the day... 

           C       Am      Dm      G 
That I was born... born... born... born  

            Em             Am 
And all the faces start to fade, 
           Em                Am 
All the mistakes that I have made 
            F 
And now the clouds can melt away 
            Fm 
And now the sun can shine again 

             Em             Am 
If there's a darkness in my soul 
             Em                 Am 
I’ll let the darkness walk with me 
           F 
I'm moving faster and faster away 
           Fm 
I'm moving faster and faster away 
                   C 
From the day I was born.
