River James chords

[D]Just across the r[Am]iver, there’s [Em]a place I’ve often [D]been
Where they rest the [Am]warriors and [Em]brave young men[D]
And I’ve heard gorgeou[Am]s stories abou[Em]t times long pa[D]st
Preserved in [Am]memories more [Em]fragile than glass[D]

On and [Am]on, here I [Em]go, to my rest,[D]
A long [Am]opposed[Em] and never-ending debt[D]

[CHORUS]
Arlingt[Bm]on [G]oh I’ve tried and I??[A] ?ve tried
[Bm]But the more that I [G]seek you the more that you [A]hide
Arling[Bm]ton[G] and it scares you to d[A]eath
You act like [Bm]love and suffering are two [Em]strangers w[A]ho just met[D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]And just across the r[Am]iver there’s [Em]a hillside covered in whit[D]e stone
I’m fighting a[Am] war with myself to win a[Em] love of my o[D]wn
Just as she wa[Am]lks away and I k[Em]now just where she g[D]oes
She’s gone to[Am] Arlington to dig a[Em]nother one of them damned hol[D]es

Alring[Bm]ton[G] , oh I’ve tried and I’[A]ve tried
[Bm]Just to reach you l[G]ove, but I heard no r[A]eply
Arling[Bm]ton[G] , your face set like stone[A]
With a s[Bm]pine of flesh and a h[Em]eart made[A] of bone[D]

Ahh…
[F]Oh it’s a [Em]shame it’s [D]a shame


Arling[Bm]ton[G] , I’ll be back here a[A]gain
I [Bm]go where you go cuz I’[G]ve been wher[A]e you’ve [Bm]been
It’s [Bm]a desperate pl[G]ac[A]e- Arlingt[D]on
