GFGAm I was born by a river GFGAm Rolling past a town GFGAm Given no direction GFDm Just told to keep my head down AmGDm As I took my position AmGDm A man fired a gun AmGFG I was so steeped in tradition I could not run

GFGAm I was raised by a river GFGAm Weaned upon the sky GFGAm And in the mirror of the waters GFDm I saw myself learn to cry AmGDm As the tears hit the surface AmGDm I saw what had been done AmGFG I gave feet to my freedom and I did run

GFGAm I ran far from the river GFGAm Far as I could see GFGAm And as the sun hit my shoulders GFDmFDm I felt it burning me AmGDm How I longed for the waters AmGDm As the fire raged AmGFG How I longed for the river as I aged

GFGAm I will die by a river GFGAm As it rolls away GFGAm Bury me in the night time GFDm Do not waste the day AmGDm High above the waters AmGDm That roll on to the sea AmGFAm All the angels in heaven will laugh at me GFAm They will laugh at me GF They will laugh at me GAm They will laugh at me

GFGAm My life was naught but a river GFGAm Rolling through my brain GFGAm Made of so many teardrops GAmGF Made of so much pain
