Liam (Creep@weep.co.uk) recently wrote me and asked for the picking pattern for Blood Red River, 
so here it is, Liam:

Am           C

Am              C                E          E7
Why must people always want what they can't have?

Am              C               E             E7
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?

Chorus:

Am            
How did we get so far

C                  E
How did we move so fast away

         E7              Am
From the lilac-lillied lake?

    C               E
I'm sure we used to stay 

      E7         
Is it only a dream away?

Am     C     E     E7

Verse 2:

Took a raft I found
'Cross some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner

Pre-Chorus 2:

Why must people always want what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?

Chorus

Am   C       E
                  Only a dream away ...

Am   C       E
               Away .....  yeah

Am   C       E

Verse 3:

Lost a friend I found
Down some blood red river
Never did find my way home 
In time to forget her

Pre-Chorus 3:

Why must people always want what they can't have
Why must people always take but forget to ask?

Chorus

Am   C          E
      only a dream ... only a dream away

Am   C          E
              away     yeah

Am   C          E       Am
