Artist: Real Estate
Album: Real Estate
Song: Green River
Hey, so this is a pretty easy song to play. In actuality, it involves two guitars playing together.
This tab will contain two different versions of the song: an easy version with only the lead guitar
playing, and another, more complicated one, with both guitars. You may choose which version to use.
VERSION 1:
INTRO: D Bm x16
A F#m (quick) A x4
D Bm D F#m x2
VERSE:
D Bm D F#m
Hey, green river, what can I do?
D Bm D F#m
If it's all right, I'll walk next to you,
D Bm D F#m
Sit in the shade of your beechwood trees,
D Bm D F#m
Don't you know these days I ain't hard to please?
PRE-CHORUS:
D Bm D Bm
Sprinklers coming on, showering your lawn,
D Bm A F#m (quick) A
And the runoff feeds the flow of muddy water
CHORUS:
A F#m A
Your many thousand friends
A F#m A
Lay before your concrete banks
A F#m A D
'Cause you know that we are all your sons and daughters
REPEAT VERSE, PRE-CHORUS, AND CHORUS
