Blood Red River Chords by Beth Orton

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] I took a friend I found across [D] some blood red river
I _ never did find my way home, time to forgive her
_ _ [B] Why must people _ always want what [F#] they _ can't have?
_ _ [Bm] Why must people [D] always grab what [C#] they never [C#m] _ grabbed?
_ [Bm] How did we get so [D] far?
How did we move so [C#] fast away
[F#] From the light [F#m] like lily [Bm] legs?
_ _ [D] Sure we used to [F#] stay, _ but only a [Bm] dream away
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Took a raft I found down [D] that blood red river
I [Bm] _
_ never did find my way home [D] in time for my dinner
Why _ [B] _
must people [D] always want [C#] what they never [F#] had?
_ _ [Bm]
Why is it [D] a crime to miss [F#] a part of you that's black?
[D] _ _ [Bm]
How did we get so [D] far?
How did we move so [C#]
fast [F#] away
From the light like lily [Bm] _
legs?
[D] Sure we used [C#] to stay, but only a [F#] dream away
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ Lost a friend I found [D] across that blood red river
_ _ [Bm] _
_ Never did find my way home [D] in time to forget her
_ [B]
Why must people [D] _ always want [C#] what [F#] they can't have?
_ _ [F#m]
[Bm] Why must people [D] always take [C#] but forget to ask?
_ _ [Bm]
How did we get [D] so far?
How did we move [C#] so fast away
From the light like [Bm] lily legs?
_ [D] I'm told we used [C#] to play, but only [F#] a [Bm] dream away
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [F#] Only a _ dream, only a [Bm] dream away
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
