Meet Me By The Rivers' Edge

Chords
pin

Em
See I've been here for 28 years.
            Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
             C
We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
             G                      D (play chord let ring)
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.




Verse 1:

Strum the other sections:

                    Em
See I've been here for 28 years.
               Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
                   C
We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
               G                      D
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.

               Em
We've been burned by all our fears.
               Bm
Just from growing up around here.
               C
Our father's factories marked our cars.
               G                                D
While Eden burned against the stars.



              G
And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em
I can't take no more regret.
                C
It cut us deep, into our souls.
                  G                     D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.
              Em
Meet me by the River's edge.
                C
We're going to wash these sins away.
                G                           D
Or else we won't come back again.


G - Em - C - G - D


Verse 2:

               Em
You know I had these ballroom dreams.
             Bm
That, as a child, came to me.
            C
I was a boy in Grandma's arms.

                     G                      D
A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
                      Em
And I was full with fiery wonder.
                    Bm
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls.
                    C                       
You were the only one who understood me then
        G                         D
and the only one who will.

Chorus 2:

              G
And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em
I can't take no more regret.
                C
It cut us deep, into our souls.
                 G                    D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.
              Em
Meet me by the River's edge.
               C
We're going to wash these sins away.
                G                           D
Or else we won't come back again.

Bridge:

          Em         D         C         G
And now I drive the 101 on the California night.
         Em              D         C              G
            
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
          Em            D              C         G   
       
And we waltz, ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept
          Em            D             C          G
         
And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or If I can go
  D    (long)
home.

Chorus / Outro:

              G (one strum)
And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em (one strum)
I can't take no more regret.
                C
It cut us deep, into our souls.
                  G                      D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.
              Em
Meet me by the River's edge.
                C
We're going to wash these sins away.
                G                             D
Or else we won't come back again.
          G - Em - C - G - D (repeat)
No retreat. No regrets.
              C              G             C (end)
Meet me by the river's edge.
