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