   verse 1 
G                                                     C 
He air was swaying round the first guitar I remember 
G                                                        C 
We crossed the river by the Ostrum wall 'neath the stars 
G                               D 
To where the wedding filled the hall 
   Em            Dsus4 D 
My father sang a song 
Em           G      C             G 
Crossing the river, caught in the rain 
C            G       C             G 
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain

G                                                            C 
Chased Cathy round the trestles at the edge of the eightsome 
G                                                            C 
We watched the lovers round the lodge at the edge of the sea 
G                       D 
White lights and wooden boards 
   Em                           Dsus4 D 
We watched the village take the floor 
Em           G      C             G 
Crossing the river, caught in the rain 
C            G       C              G 
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain

   Bridge 
G                        G6     G 
There is so much I could say to you, but 
G                           G6        G 
Tonight I'm sticking to the past like glue 
G                          G6        G 
When life gets tough, when times get hard 
G                        G6      G 
You have to know exactly who you are 
G           G6      G 
Arm in arm, hand in hand 
G                        G6        G 
You take this woman, you take this man 
F                  G 
Spirit dancing evermore 
F                         G 
Endless circles round the floor

   verse 3 
G                                               C 
Last night I drove my children down by the river 
G                                                      C 
Past the windows of the hall and the dusts of our years 
G                   D 
Then the radio came on 
     Em                          Dsus4 D 
They said "someone's playing our song" 
Em           G      C             G 
Crossing the river, caught in the rain 
C            G       C             G 
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain 


   Outro 
C            G      C             G 
Crossing the river, caught in the rain 
C            G       C                              G 
Crossing the rhythm, caught (caught, caught) in the rain 
C            G 
Crossing the river
