Frank Turner - Rivers Chords

My first chords, dont be too mean ;) Can't believe noones uploaded this yet! One of my 
favs from the new album, had to be done.

A/E means play the bass note E (3rd string).
G-A or E- means quickly strum the chord preceding the "-" before going straight back to 
the following chord (So for the E-, its E then A). This just adds a little something to 
the song.

Also, I find it sounds nice to play the A with the G string open (Making it A7 perhaps? 
I'm no expert 002200). Hope this helps!

E     G    G-A     E


E		  A/E	   E-
Our history runs down our rivers
A		B?	E
Down our rivers to the sea
E		   A/E	       E-
Reminds us of the things that matter
A		B?   E
Home and heart and history
E	    A/E	               E-
And all our sins will be forgiven
A		B?	E
Washed away to set us free
E	    		A/E	             E-
By the rivers that run through our homesteads
A		B?   E
By myth and modal melody


F#			       A
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
    E				B
To remind me of what I already know
F#				   A
I traced the shorelines through a thousand esturies
    E			      B
To remind me an island is my home
		 E
An island is my home

I traveled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the cuts, swerves, and the fells
I left a tapestry called England
And life and those who lived it well

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home

Round here the sky is a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
The only place that I'll lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home

E		      F#
So place your trust into the sea
A		       B
It's kept us safe for centuries
E		         F#
It shaped our shores and steadily
A		          B
Its care has brought us, calm
E	       F#
When I die, I hope to be
A		       B
buried out in English seas
E	          F#
So all that then remains of me
A			B
Will lap against these shores
		     E
Until England is no more
