River Cross by Pearl Jam Tuning: E A D G B E [Intro] G F E F [Verse] G F Always thought I’d cross that river E F The other side, distant now G F As I got close it turned and widened E F Horizon now, fading out C Drifting in the undertow F Can’t spot a figure on dry land C And afterthoughts of safety F When in truth, none to be had,... G F E F None to be had [Verse] G F I used to tell time by my shadow E F ‘Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage G F These days will end as do the lights rays E F Another read of the same page C Wide awake through this deepest night F Still waiting on the sun C As the hours seem to multiple F Find a star to solider on C Living beneath a Lions paw F Knowing nothing can be tamed,... G F E F Can be tamed [Verse] G F I want this dream to last forever E F A wish denied to lengthen our time G F I wish this moment was neverending E F Let it be a lie that all futures die C While the government thrives on discontent F And there’s no such thing as clear C Proselytizing and profitizing F As our will all but disappears C Folded over, forced in a choke hold F Outnumbered and held down C And all these talk of rapture F Look around at the promise now,... G Here and now F Here and now E Can’t hold me down F G F Can’t hold me down E Won’t hold us down F Won’t hold us down [Bridge] G Live it out Let it out F Get it out Shout it out E Won’t hold us down F G Won’t hold us down [Outro] Share the light F Won’t hold us down Share the light E Won’t hold us down Share the light F G Won’t hold us down Share the light F Won’t hold us down Share the light E Won’t hold us down Share the light F G Won’t hold us down Share the light F Won’t hold us down Share the light E Won’t hold us down Share the light F G Won’t hold us down Hold us down
