This is the version of the River that I saw Ed play live on Vh1, it sounds pretty close
the CD version so, here are the chords. Live normally tunes to Eb, but this is a
tab and it sounds really close. This is like my second tab, so bear with me, I'm open to
If you want to correct something or just need it as a reference, my email address, ufo_sk8r@yahoo.com.
Note: When you strum the D chord on the verse sort of add some extra notes like e|-3(G)
the top string. That might sound a little odd but listen to the song and you'll know
I mean.

Intro
It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny calling
And she's lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
She came without warning
like an angel come from heaven in the night (in the night)
the kiss makes me tremble
so she pulls me close and holds me oh so tight.
And suddenly, out of the blue she starts singin'
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
I give you life
(ooohhh)
I'll give you life, baby
(oooh)
I'll give you love
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
That's all, I'm a little fuzzy about the bridge, but it should sound alright.
