"River" by Mother Hubbard.

Transcribed by Daniel Meijer

A great song, it goes off live. Yes its pretty "Grungy" but if you're 
gonna listen to grunge, listen to the Aussie stuff! Its better than lots 
of mass-marketed American music of similar genre.

Some of my lyric transcriptions look like they're done by the Dodgy 
Brothers ("50 bucks Jane!"*) so corrections are welcome. 

Its in 4/4.

The tears we cried for last night
