Frank Turner – Rivers chords

My first chords, dont be too mean ;) Can't believe noones uploaded this yet! One of my 
favs from the new album, had to be done.

A/E means play the bass note E (3rd string).G-A or E- means quickly strum the chord preceding the "-" before going straight back to the following chord (So for the E-, its E then A). This just adds a little something to the song.

Also, I find it sounds nice to play the A with the G string open (Making it A7 perhaps? 
I'm no expert 002200). Hope this helps!

F#			       AI traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
    E				BTo remind me of what I already know
F#				   AI traced the shorelines through a thousand esturies
    E			      BTo remind me an island is my home
		 EAn island is my home

I traveled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the cuts, swerves, and the fells
I left a tapestry called England
And life and those who lived it well

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home

Round here the sky is a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place that I'll lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home

E		      F#So place your trust into the sea
A		       BIt's kept us safe for centuries
E		         F#It shaped our shores and steadily
A		          BIts care has brought us, calm
E	       F#When I die, I hope to be
A		       Bburied out in English seas
E	          F#So all that then remains of me
A			BWill lap against these shores
		     EUntil England is no more
