Put a capo on relative to the pitch of your voice. I found it was fitting on 3rd.
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
and a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
ill live my life regretting that i never jumped in
there's a boy over the river with short black curly hair
he wants to be my lover and i want to be his peer
there's a boy over the river but alas i cannot swim
i never will get to put my arms around him
there's a life up by the river that was meant for me
instead i live my life in constant misery
there's a life across the river but i do not see
why i should please those who'll never be pleased
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
i would rather be driving being held up by a golden gun
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
To end the song strum each chords once in this order: GGCG
