verse 1 

B                                E             B   F# 
I want to ride the river but the river is dry, too dry 
B                                   E             B   F# 
We tried to climb a mountain but we got too high, too high 
B                           E 
Like foam from the lip of a rabid dog 
B                          F# 
We cling to a promise with lungs full of smog 
D#m                               E             B   F# 
I want to ride the river, but the river is dry, too dry 


[Refrão]
G#m    E     F# 
Oh, my sweet Lord 
B                        F# E 
This could be a paradise 
B                        F# E 
This could be a paradise 
G#m                E 
But we're skin and bone 
    B             F# 
Our teeth are all gone 
B        E          F# 
Oh, this could be a paradise

D#m                                 E             B   F# 
We tried to climb a mountain but we got too high, too high 
D#m                            E 
How low can you go when you're held by the spell? 
B                         F# 
Dig a little deeper for a new kind of hell 
B                         E           B F# 
Dig a little deeper for a new kind of hell
