"Song Of The Passaic"
[Verse]
G Bb
The rivers run and none shall know
F C
How long their waters yet may flow
Eb Bb
We read the record of the past
F C
While time withholds the future cast
G Bb
Yet in their flowing to the sea
F C
The rivers fill their destiny
Eb Bb
And to the measure of their lays
C# F
Run on and on through endless days
[Chorus]
Eb
And in the rise, The light and glow
Bb
Of grand old rivers in their flow
F C
From distant hills through dales and lea
Eb F C
The fair passaic seeks the sea
Eb F G
The fair passaic seeks the sea
G Eb Bb F G Eb Bb F
[Verse]
G Bb
And overhead in arch of stone
F C
There flows a tide so slow and prone
Eb Bb
To will of men whose genius planned
F C
A waterway that runs through land
G Bb
Until its slow and lazy tide
F C
O'erflows its banks on either side
Eb Bb
And vaste expanse of wasteland fills
C# F
With ooze of water at its wilt
[Chorus]
Eb
And in the rise, The light and glow
Bb
Of grand old rivers in their flow
F C
From distant hills through dales and lea
Eb F C
The fair passaic seeks the sea
Eb F G
The fair passaic seeks the sea
G..Eb Bb F G Eb Bb F
