The River
Music & Lyrics by: Mark Joseph
Chords by: Ray Costello "The Gribleys"

This tab is taken from Mark's first acoustic version of the song on the Album 'Scream'.
The version recorded later has a different arrangement, though I much prefer this version.
The song illustrates Mark's raw talent as a brilliant song writer and musician.
If you have not heard 'Scream' then you are missing out!
