I'll go walk down [A] the path
Where [E] Mr.
Wignor
[D] They [F#m]
bring you up to [A] do
[D] Like your daddy does
Me and Mary we met in high school
[A] She was [C#m] just [F#m] someone's
Queen [Bm] right out of the sky
He [A]
[D] was her queen
[F#m] We'd go down once a [D] year
[E] And see the river [A] we'd die
[C#m] Oh, [F#m]
[D] the river [E] we'd ride
[D]
[F#m] I got Mary [A] pregnant
The [E] man that I [D] thought she was
[F#m] For my 19th [A] birthday
I got a [D] union card
[A] [D] We went down to the courthouse
The [A] judge [E] put her on [F#m] to rest
[Bm] No wind, no day, no smiles, no water coming out
[A] No flies, no wind, no [D] dreams
One [E] night we [F#m] went down to [D] the river
[E] And see the river [A] we'd die
[C#m] Oh, [F#m]

[D]
[F#m] Well, they lend everything [A] they work
On [D] account of me
[A] When [D] all those things that seem so important
[G#] They [A] just vanish [C#m] right into [F#m] the air
Yeah, [Bm] I just act like I don't remember
And [A] Mary acts like she [D] don't care
But [F#m] I remember us riding in [A] my brother's car
Her [E] body's handed wet, now [D] under his above
[F#m] And right on those banks that [A] line our way
Where it's [D] cold, just a feel of his [A] breath she'd take
[D] Now those memories, [Bm] yeah, they [A] haunt me [C#m] like [F#m] a dream
Is [Bm] it dream or life, and they don't come true
[A] Or is it [C#m] something [D] more
It's just [F#m] me now, so
[D] Oh, [E] I know, I'm giving [A] it a try
[C#m] Oh, [F#m]
[D] but it's [E] still not out [D]
[F#m] of touch

Let's start jamming Bruce Springsteen - The River - Fan Live chords, practice the chord sequence E, F#m, D, E, D, F#m and A. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 59 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 119. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of A Major.
