Intro: Am G F G  (3x)  Am 
  
      G         F    G Am 
I was born by a river 
        G      F    G Am 
Rolling past a town 
      G       F    G Am 
Given no direction 
             G       F         Dm 
Just told to keep my head down 
               Am   G  Dm 
As I took my position 
              Am G  Dm 
A man fired a gun 
                       Am       G         F G 
I was so steeped in tradition I could not run 
  
  
Lead Break: Am G F  G Am G F  G Am 
  
  
      G           F    G Am 
I was raised by a river 
        G       F   G Am 
Weaned upon the sky 
           G             F     G Am 
And in the mirror of the waters 
             G        F    Dm 
I saw myself learn to cry 
                     Am   G  Dm 
As the tears hit the surface 
                    Am G  Dm 
I saw what had been done 
                  Am          G     F G  
I gave feet to my freedom and I did run 
  
  
Lead Break: Am G F  G Am G F  
  
  
G       Am    G F  
Someday later 
          G              Am   G F  
I saw the writing in the dust 
           G            Am     G F 
It told me how I should travel 
           G     Am G F   G 
It told me who I was 
  
  
Lead Break: Am G F  G Am G F  G Am 
  
  
      G            F    G Am 
I ran far from the river 
       G       F    G Am 
Far as I could see 
           G          F        G Am 
And as the sun hit my shoulders 
          G       F   Dm F Dm 
I felt it burning me 
                     Am  G  Dm 
How I longed for the waters 
            Am G  Dm 
As the fire raged 
                     Am       G F G  
How I longed for the river as I aged 
  
  
Lead Break: Am G F G Am G F G Am 
  
  
       G        F    G Am 
I will die by a river 
      G      F   G Am 
As it rolls away 
     G         F         G Am 
Bury me in the night time 
       G         F   Dm 
Do not waste the day 
               Am  G  Dm 
High above the waters 
                    Am G  Dm 
That roll on to the sea 
                  Am          G        F  Am 
All the angels in heaven will laugh at me 
          G        F  Am 
They will laugh at me 
          G        F 
They will laugh at me 
          G        Am 
They will laugh at me 
  
  
Lead Break: G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am 
  
            G            F      G  Am 
My life was naught but a river 
        G          F        G  Am 
Rolling through my brain 
           G    F            G  Am 
Made of so many teardrops 
           G    Am G F  
Made of so much pain
