The River Bruce Springsteen 1981 | (Gramophone Productions 943) |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
(32 beat figure)
I come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Allemande and weave
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
Swing your girl, promenade
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
FIGURE
...
Swing your corner, promenade
Oh down to the river we'd ride
FIGURE
...
Swing your corner, promenade
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
(32 beat figure)
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Allemande and weave
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Swing your girl, promenade
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
(32 beat figure)
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Allemande and weave
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Swing your girl, promenade
Oh down to the river we'd ride
TAG
Swing
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
