VERSE #1 (piano only)
I’m so
[E]thirsty.[E] [E6/C#] [E6/C#] I can feel it, burning
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
through the furthest corners of my soul. Deep
[E]desire [E] [E6/C#] [E6/C#] I can’t describe this nameless
[D2]urge tha[D2]t drives[Bsus] me some[B]wh[-]er[B6/A]e though I don’t know where to go. Seems I’ve
[A]heard ab[E/G#]out [G#/C] a r[C#m7]iver from someone who’s been. And they
[A]tell me [E/G#]once [D/B] you rea[E]ch[-] i[E/G#]t oh you’ll never thirst again. So, I
[A]have to [E/G#]find [G#/C] the[-] r[G#/D#]iver, [C#m7] [-]so[C#m7/B]mehow my life depends on the
[A]river [A] [D2] [D2] Holy river Other
VERSE #2 (Add drums/Accoust.)
[E]water [E] I&[E6/C#]#8217;ve[E6/C#] been drinkin’ but they
D2 D2 Bsus B (hold)
always leave me empty like before. Satis-
[E]faction [E] [E6/C#] [E6/C#] all I’m askin’ could I
[D2]really b[D2]e [Bsus] this thirst[B]y [-] i[B6/G#]f there weren’t something more. And I

[A]this wil[E/G#]l be [D/B] the r[E]iv[-]er[E/G#] where I’ll never thirst again. I’m
[A]abandone[E/G#]d to the[G#/C] ri[-]ve[G#/D#]r, [C#m7] [-] [C#m7/B] and now my life depends on the
