By This River Tabs

(ver. 1)
Brian Eno
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Eb Ab D G B e

This weird tuning is the only way I've come up with to play
the song in its original key.
Except for the bass note, shifting from Bb -> G -> Eb -> G
the melody repeats itself through the 4 sections.

The chord progression is Bb Gm Eb Gm.

Listen to the original song to catch the timing. Maybe I'll
put something for the solo in Ver.2, for now just hum ;-)

Enjoy =)

Lyrics:

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling 
down, down, down
Ever falling down.

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we 
  came, came, came:
I wonder why we came. 

You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another 
  time, time, time,
