-----

Intro: Am7, D   4 x


1.)
Sitting by river, on warm summer day
 Am	    Em7   Am		  Em7
thinking of the giver, who's also the taker away
 Am	   	 Em7	      Am	     Em7	      
stunned by the suchness, there's not a lot to say.
 C		  D		  G	       Am7    Am7, D - Am7, D


2.)
Warmed by the mystery, instead of being scared
 Am		Em7	Am		  Em7
touched by a raindrop, annointing my head
 Am		Em7	Am	      Em7
river be my mirror, grass be my bed.
 C	      D	      G	  	Am7   Am7, D - Am7, D


3.)
Love is in the shadows, kissing leaves one by one, 
 Am		Em7	  Am		      Em7
and where I go it follows, and warms me with the sun
 Am		   Em7		Am		 Em7
bright butterflying, there's so much to be done.
 C	     D		     G		    Am7	  Am7, D - Am7, D


4.)
And you lie here beside me, your perfume in my nose
     Am		    Em7		    Am	       Em7
your eyes do not deny me, the space between us is closed
     Am		  Em7		Am		   Em7
you let the river speak for us, there's nothing it does not know.
     C		   D			  G		     Am	    Am7, D - Am7, D


5.)
Flowing ever changing, form in front of me
 Am		Em7	Am		Em7
taking all your secrets, to spill them in the sea
 Am		Em7	     Am		      Em7
spare one drop of precious water, then I might be free.
 C		   D		   G		   Am7    Am7, D - Am7, D


6.)
Sitting by river, on warm summer day
 Am	    Em7   Am		  Em7
thinking of the giver, who's also the taker away
