  here's a new song for the REM-archive.
  I've taken the lyrics from this year's christmas package, i.e.
  they're straight from the horse's mouth.
  
  
  FIND THE RIVER (from the album "Automatic For The People")
  
  INTRO:
  
  (E) ------2-------2
  (B) ----3-3-----3-3	play 2 times
  (G) --2---2---0---0
  (D) 0-----0-2-----2
  
  
  D F Em G
  D F A  /
  
  
  Verse:
  
  D               F
  hey now little speedyhead
      Em               G
  the read on the speedmeter says
      D             F            A
  you have to go to task in the city
        D                F
  where people drown and people serve
  Em                 G
  don't be shy your just deserve
     D          F             A
  is only just light years to go
  
  
  Chorus:
  
  G                   A
  me, my thoughts are flower strewn
  D               Em
  ocean storm, bayberry moon
  G             A                D
  I have got to leave to find my way
  G                  A
  watch the road and memorize
       D                Em
  this life that pass before my eyes
  G          A        D
  nothing is going my way.
  
  Note: Last chord of chorus is first chord of verse
  
  D F Em G
  D F A  /
  
  Verse (as above):
  
  the ocean is the rivers goal
  a need to leave the water knows
  we're closer now than light years to go.
  
  Chorus (as above):
  
  I have got to find the river
  bergamot and vetiver
  run through my head and fall away
  leave the road and memorize
  this life that pass before my eyes
  nothing is going my way.
  
  Repeat INTRO
  
  Verse:
  
  there's no one left to take the lead
  but I tell you and you can see
  we're closer now than light years to go.
  pick up here and chase the ride
  the river empties to the tide
  fall into the ocean.
  
  Chorus:
  
  the river to the ocean goes
  a fortune for the undertow
  none of this is going my way.
  there is nothing left to throw
  of ginger, lemon, indigo,
  coriander stem and rose of hay.
  strength and courage overrides
  the privileged and weary eyes
  of river poet search naivete.
  pick up here and chase the ride
  the river empties to the tide
  all of this is coming your way.
  
  End on D
