The River Song - Wide Mouth Mason

Here is a beutiful song from one of the best bands around. Anyone who wants
to swap more tabs for WMM or has any corrections for this one e-mail me.
I've played it out dozens of times and have seen it done live so I'm pretty
sure this is it.


(Acoustic guitar)
Riff 1 (versus, intro, outro and interlude):  Em   D  Em  D   G    Em  D  G
 D  G   D

Verse 1:

Em                                  D             Em
He ran to the river but the water run dry
Em                                  D                  G
Ran to the candle but the light had done died
Em                                 D        G      D  G   D
I used to love you and not even try

Verse 2:

Em                                  D              Em
He ran to the temple with tears in his eyes
Em                                        D            G
Fell on his knees and reached up at the same time
Em                           D                G       D   G    D
Sayin I only love you knowing I'll die

Ref:

G        D         C              G
All my life I've tried to be good
G        D         C
Ah, at least to myself
G      D                C                 G 
You did what you thought you should
G      D                 C
But it hurt me like hell

Interlude:
Em     D     Em

Em          D     G
Like hell...

Em     D     G   D  G   D

Verse 3:
He ran to his mother and to her he cried
You never told the whole story and I 
Think all along I pretended to try

Ref:  (twice)
Then repeat last line of refrain (But it hurt me like hell) 4 times and
then riff 1 once.

Listen to the song to get the timing, and the exact ending.
