Verse: CGF All that I have is a river AmE The river is always my home CFAmF Lord take me away for I just cannot stay CGAm Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
All other verses use same chords
Chorus: CGCF The water sustains me without even trying CGAm The water can't drown me I'm done FC With my dyy ing
Please help me build a small boat One that'll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep and the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me I'm done With my dying
Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in So wide is my river the horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint
The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me I'm done With my dying
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now the way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by
The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me I'm done With my dying
