[Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C] [G]
Verse:
There are [G]songs beyond the s[G]ky
Missing m[C]elodies to [G]find
You got s[C]tars inside your [Em]eyes
Tiny part[C]s of holy l[D]ies
There are [G]mountains on the s[G]un
Where the [C]ancient horses [G]run
All tryin' to [C]find where they went wr[Em]ong
So they can [C]see how far they've [D]come
Chorus 1:
I say[Em]
Running river[C]
Take me h[G]ome[Em]
Running river[C]
Take me h[G]ome
Verse 2:
You were [G]born to live a [G]life
Passing b[C]y you at the speed of l[G]ight
You're always w[C]rong, and never rig[Em]ht
A spinning [C]world and [D]satellite
So sing a [G]song for love and [G]grace
Write a [C]screenplay for the human [G]race
A tale of [C]tragedy and [Em]waste
To wipe that [C]smile from off your [D]face
Chorus 2:
I say[Em]
Running river[C]
Take me h[G]ome[Em]
Back to the t[C]own that I came[G] from[Em]
To how it [C]was when I was y[G]oung
Under timeless skies[Em]
Running river[C]
Take me ho[D]me
Back to a world where I b[G]elong
Bridge:
[G](Oh running river[G] run run run)
[G](Oh running river[G] run run, run)
[C](Oh running river[G], oh running river)
[Em](Oh running river [D]run run run) X2
Chorus 3:
[Em] Running rive[C]r
Take me h[G]ome
[Em] Back to the [C]town that I ca[G]me from
[Em] To how it [C]was when I was y[D/A]oung
Under tim[D]eless[D] skie[D]s
[Em]Oh running river [C]run run run
[D/A]Oh running river [D]run run run[D][D][D]
[Em]Running rive[C]r (Palm muted short strums)
[D/A]Running rive[D]r (Palm muted short strums)
[Em]Running rive[C]r (Back to single strum)
[G]Take me hooooooooome
Lead Guitar - I put an extra space between counts for clarity.
@VERSES - each count 4 sets

@CHORUS 1 - each count 4 sets
[G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G]
@CHORUS 2 - each count 4 sets
- so 3 and a half bars of G + half bar of C picking
[G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G]
[G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [C] [C]
-Not really audible in Chorus 3, but you can play the Chorus 2 lead part during
Chorus 3 if you want to.
Appendix
Though the Verse chords I put down is what sounds right as I play and sing along,
I do acknowledge that the bass notes, however, are infact:
There are [G]songs beyond the s[D]ky
Missing m[G]elodies to [D]find
You got s[C]tars inside your [B]eyes
Tiny part[G]s of holy l[A]ies
and therefore verse chords can be interpreted and played as:
There are [G]songs beyond the s[D]ky
Missing m[G]elodies to [D]find
You got s[C]tars inside your [Em]eyes
Tiny part[G]s of holy l[D]ies
