D-DU-UDU
A man can be destroyed but not defeated
Even when he's lying black and blue
Livin' on a faith above his ceiling
Never gonna know if it rings true
There's a voice inside that keeps him on the path or rightousness
You can't break his stride or change his mind 'cause he won't second guess
This part is really fast so I'll show how I do it in tab:
C#m
|e-------------4--4-------------------------------|
|B-------------5--5-------------------------------|
|G-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|D-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|A-9--9--7--7--4--4-------------------------------|

When the river swells, yeah
Will You Wash Away?
2nd VERSE: (same chords as first)
running to the end of expectation
ready for the moment to arrive
but the wicked world just keeps you waiting
baby it can bury you alive
you need something more to rest assured or else your faith will die
like an anchor to the river floor when the crushing waters rise
hear the restless river rise
sheer white waters causing compromise
doubting eyes, changing minds
for everyone there comes a time
will you wash away?
3rd VERSE: (same chords minus the last 2 lines)
going back on all your allegations
once saw enough you changed your tune
write your way out of the situation
youve got to do what you have got to do
Chords you might not know:
the wierd variations:
F#sus4
e|-4------|-2------| It can be hard to swithch from the Cm to the -sus4
B|-7------|-2------| quickly and cleanly, but with practise it comes.
G|-6------|-3------| If you don't feel like practising a Cm7sus4 will
D|-6------|-3------| do (despite the really long name) just move your
A|-4------|-3------| pinkie from the G string to the B string on 7th fret.
E|--------|-2------|
C#m7sus4
e|-4------|
B|-7------|
G|-4------|
D|-6------|
A|-4------|
E|--------|

E
e|--7---|------|
