The River

Intro: B C B A B C D E

 Em
As I walk through the valley of the
G         Em
shadow of L.A.

The footsteps that were next to me have
G                  Em
gone their separate ways

I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't
G               Em
always stay that way

I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't
G              Em
everything they say

G              Em
  I heard that evil comes disguised
G                              D
  like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light

Em                 C
  Baptized in the river I've seen a
G                        D
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
Em                     C
  In the city I was a sinner I've done a
G                           D
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Em                   C
  Like the prodigal son I was out on my
G                      D                Em
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home

                    C          G             D
  Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered

Em
You're from a small town You're gonna grow up fast
G                 Em
underneath these lights.

Down in Hollywood on the boulevard, the
G                 Em
dead come back to life.

To the praying Mother the worried Father,
G                 Em
Let your children go.

If they come back they'll come home stronger, and
G                     Em
if they don't you'll know

G               Em
  They say that evil comes disguised
G                              Em
  like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light

Em                 C
  Baptized in the river I've seen a
G                        D
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
Em                     C
  In the city I was a sinner I've done a
G                          D
