R.E.M. - Find The River: chords

 D               Dm/F
Hey now little speedy head,
     Em7              G
the read on the speedmeter says
     D              Dm/F       A7sus4
you have to go the task in the city.
       D                Dm/F
Where people drown and people serve,
 Em7                G
Don't be shy, your just deserve
   D          Dm/F         A7sus4
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
And nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go

Chorus:
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 passed before my eyes
And nothing is going my way

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 naiveté
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way
