                        Wild Rivers – Wandering Child
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tunings:           _D_A_D_E_A_d_      or      _E_A_D_G_B_e_
Chords:        D  | 0 0 0 2 0 0 |            | x x 0 2 3 2 |
The first tuning is the original one. They use it for breaking the chords in the intro, 
first verse and some other parts of the song (into the picking pattern which is btw a little tricky).
So, who wants to play the song like the band does, first tuning and the set of chords are 
change the tuning, the standard tuning is just fine and sounds the same.
D   G   D   G
   DI wish I mGet you, Dfurther alGong

And for those who want to try breaking the chords, a little help - my attempt 
on the intro and beginning of the verse (didn’t have time for the whole thing):

D G D G

I wish I met you, further along

But I wouldn't have a fire like I do today

Oh, it burns for you babe

A Bm G

Oooh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray

A Bm D G

Oooh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

From your eyes to the soles of your feet

May my body and heart remain wi____ld

Oh no, I gotta let it go

D G D G

And I got a feeling, deep in my bones

D G D G

I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road

Oh, there's a fire coming on you in your lane

And it burns for you babe
