Melissa Etheridge - Gently We Row Chords & Tabs

Intro:
C G Am    C
F C Gsus4 G

     C               G       Am   C
When my soul crashed into my body
F          C           G5   G5
Falling into consciousness
F               C     Dm         C
That's when my mind began this illusion
   F          C         G5   G5
Of taking it step after step

Am         G           F     C
I looked into mother's eyes
       Am7          F            G5   G5
I said tell me what I should believe
    F         C           Dm7     C
She drew me a room with a light
     F            G            C     C
said just turn it off when you leave

Chorus:
   C     G          Am       C
   Slow, slow, this river is slow
   F             C            G   G
   We're all out here on our own
   Am   G    C         F  F  F  F
   Row, row, gently we row
   F              G            C   C
   One day we'll find our way home


C          G         Am        C
Step after step they drew me a town
    F           C           G5  G5
they drew me a fear and a need
    F           C            Dm           C
They drew me a god, and they drew me some money
F          C              G5  G5
hiding the truth far from me

Am          G         F     C
I asked the cool fire light
Am7           F           G5  G5
Tell me, what I should believe,  they
F          C            Dm7       C
gave me a song and they gave me a dance, and said
F               G           C     C
sleep now your pain will relieve


---Chorus---

    Am            Em7          F              C
I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why
Am                Em7              F          G
  and I've been a-shamed when I've chosen to lie
  Am           Em7            F               C
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light
  Dm             Dm  Dm  Dm
to come and find me
   G             Gsus4  G  G
And when I found me

  C               G            Am       C
I wrapped my arms round my own daughter
   F             C             Gsus4  G
as she fell into her place and time
F           C       Dm          C
 and as her mind creates her illusions
  F           C              Gsus4  G
I won't complicate hers with mine

Am           G      F              C
She looked into her mother's eyes
         Am7          F            Gsus4  G
she said tell me what I should believe
     F            C         Dm7            C
And I drew her a door and I drew her a key
     F                 C            Dm7           C
and I said when you're ready you'll come and find me
         F             C         Dm7         C       
and we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new
G   Gsus4 F F
dayyyyyyyyyyy


C     G          Am       C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
F                    C            Gsus4   G
And you're never out here on our own
Am   G    C         F  F  F  F
Row, row, gently we row
F                   G           
And together we'll find our way.

C     G          Am       C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
F        C           Gsus4     G
 Life is not what it seems
Am   G    C         F   F  F
Row, row, gently we row
   F
The truth is
     G      C
It's only a dream
