[Intro]
C G C F
C G Am F
[Verse]
C G F
All that I have is a river
Am E
The river is always my home
C F Am F
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay
C G F
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
[Chorus]
C G C F
The water sustains me without even trying
C G Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
F C
With my dyy...ing
[Verse]
C G F
Please help me build a small boat
Am E
One that'll ride on the flow
C F Am F
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
C G F
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
[Chorus]
C G C F
The water sustains me without even trying
C G Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
F C
With my dyy...ing
[Verse]
C G F
Now deeper the water I sail
Am E
And faster the current I'm in
C F
But each night brings the stars
Am F
And the song in my heart
C G F
Is a tune for the journeyman's tale
[Chorus]
C G C F
The water sustains me without even trying
C G Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
F
With my dyy...ing
[Bridge]
E Am
Now the land that I knew is a dream
E Am
And the line on the distance grows faint
C F C F
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
C G F
The artist has run out of paint
[Verse]
C G F
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
Am E
And the big yellow sun leads me home
C F Am F
I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow
C G F
To the wind of each breath by and by
[Chorus]
C G C F
The water sustains me without even trying
C G Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
F C
With my dyy...ing
