This is the definative song of the album i think, and it's one of my favourite
songs ever written. (Also, despite critical statements about the Ether Song
album, it's great, and perfect for those seeking acoustic bliss.)
Chords
Emin (779987)
[D] [(557775)]
[C] [(335553)]
[B]E [(224442)](022100) or alternatively (779997)
[Bmin]A (00[(224432)]2220) or alternatively (577655)
Intro
Here they are just playing through the verse chords, first plucking the 5th
string note, and then strumming the rest of the strings after. (N.B. When they
reach the C they strum the rest of the strings subsequent times.)
The chords are:
[Emin] [-] [D] [-] [C] [-] [B]
Then they launch into the verse:
(N.B. when strumming the chords highlight the top 3 strings to get the same
effect on the song.)
Verse
[Emin]If this gets u[D]gly, I sw[C]ear, this ain't our la[B]st chance.
[Emin]The vultures that ci[D]rcle, my he[C]ad, are flying [B]alongside.
[Emin]The wor[D]ld's [C]turni[B]ng...
Chorus
[E]I let so[Bmin]mebody get un[A]der my skin.
[E]Long distance, lo[Bmin]sing is a[A]ll that i'd seen.
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
Verse
[Emin]Nothing can s[D]ave me, my resolve betr[C]ayed me,
Here come the [B]hurricanes,
[Emin]I'm burning to get[D] there, the middle of [C]nowhere,
Storm warnings fli[B]cker while,
[Emin]The wo[D]rld's [C]turni[B]ng.
Chorus
[E]I let so[Bmin]mebody get un[A]der my skin.
[E]Long distance, lo[Bmin]sing is a[A]ll that i'd seen.
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
After chorus keep strumming the chorus chords...
Chorus (slight break in the strumming pattern here)

E Bmin | A
I let somebody| get under my skin.
[E]Long distance, lo[Bmin]sing is a[A]ll that i see.
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
[E]Now there's a [Bmin]river.[A]
Keep strumming the A chord until fade out.
