From: Brian Davies (davies@ils.nwu.edu) Another outtake from The Basement Tapes sessions... ONE SINGLE RIVER (a.k.a. SONG FOR CANADA) by Ian Tyson As arranged by Bob Dylan Transcription by Brian Davies (davies@ils.nwu.edu) More of my guitar transcriptions are available at: http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~davies/ [Bb] How come we can't talk to each [G] other any more? [Cm] Why can't you [F] see I'm changing [Bb] tune? [Bb] We got by far too long to [G] end it feeling wrong [Cm] And ?? shared too much with [F] you. [Gm] Just one big river always [F] flowing to the sea; [Gm] One single river rolling [F] in eternity. [Bb] Two nations in this land that [G] lies along its shore, [Cm] But just one [F] river rolling [Bb] free. [Bb] How come you shut me out as [G] if I wasn't there? [Cm] What's this new [F] bitterness you've [Bb] found? [Bb] However wrong you were, how[G]ever strong it hurts, [Cm] It wasn't me who held you [F] down. Chorus Solo on Verse and Chorus [Bb] Why can't you understand, I'm [G] glad you're standing proud; [Cm] I know you [F] made it on your [Bb] own. [Bb] But is this new pride you've earned [G] ?????? [Cm] That you don't have to stand a[F]lone.
