[Intro]
G D/E G/D C (x4) D G/B
[Verse 1]
[D]I lo[G/B]oked out acro[G]ss[Em7]
[D]The r[C]iver today[G],[Em7] [D]
[C] saw a ci[G]ty in the fog and [Em7]an old church [D]tower
Where the s[C]eagulls play,[G] [Em7] [D]
[C] saw the s[G]ad shire h[Em7]orses wal[D]king hom[C]e
In the sod[G]ium light[D]
[C] two pries[G]ts on the fer[Em7]ry
October g[D]eese on a cold[C] winter'[G]s night[Em7] [D]
[Cborus]
All[Em] this time,
The r[A]iver flowed[C]
Endle[Dsus]ssly [D]to the s[G]ea.[D/E] [G/D] [C]
[Verse 2]
Two priests c[G]ame round [Em7]
[D] o[C]ur house to[G]night[Em7] [D]
[C] One y[G]oung, one old[Em7], to offer prayer[D]s for the dying
To s[C]erve the fin[G]al rite[Em7],[D]
[C] One to le[G]arn, one to t[Em7]each,[D]
[C] Which way the c[G]old wind blows[D] [C]
And f[G]ussing and flapp[Em7]ing in priestly b[D]lack
Like a murder of cr[G]ows[Em7] [D]
[Cborus]
And all [Em]this time,
The [A]river flowed[C]
Endl[Dsus]essly t[D]o the s[G]ea.
If I had[Em] my way
take a [A7sus]boat from the r[A7]iver [C]
and I'd [Dsus]bury the old m[D]an,[Dsus] I'd b[D]ury him at s[G]ea[D/E] [G/D] [C]
[Verse 3]
Blessed are the p[G]oor, [Em7]
[D] f[C]or they shall inh[G]erit the ea[Em7]rth[D]
[C] B[G]etter to be poor [Em7]than a f[D]at man in the e[C]ye of the ne[G]edle[Em7] [D]
[C] As these words w[G]ere spoken [Em7]I swear [D]
[C] I hear The o[G]ld man laughing,[D]
[C] "What g[G]ood is a used up w[Em7]orld, and h[D]ow could it be W[C]orth having"[G] [Em7] [D]
[Cborus]
All this[Em] time
the [A]river flowed[C]
Endl[Dsus]essly[D] like a si[G]lent tear[D/E] [G]
All this[Em] time the [A]river flowed
[C] Father, if J[Dsus]esus exi[D]sts,
Then [Dsus]how come he [D]never lived h[G]ere.[D/E]
[G/D]yeah [C]yeah [G] [D/E]
[G/D]yeah [C]yeah[G] [D/E]
[G/D]yeah [C]yeah [D] [G/B] [D]
[Verse 4]
[G/B] Teachers told[A] [F#m7] [E]
[D] the Romans [A]built this place[F#m7] [E]
[D] They built a wall[A] and a temple[F#m7], an edg[E]e of the empire[D] Garrison tow[A]n,[F#m7] [E]
[D] They lived and they[A] died, [F#m7]they prayed[E] to their gods[D]
But the st[A]one gods did[F#m7] not make a s[E]ound
[D] And their empi[A]re crumbled[F#m7], 'til all[E] that was left[D]
[D] Were the stone[A]s the workmen found
[Cborus]
All [F#m]this time
The [B]river flowed[D]
in the fall[Esus]ing light[E] of a Northe[A]rn sun
If I[F#m] had my way
take a b[B7]oat from the river[D]
Men go [Esus]crazy in congre[E]gations,
They on[Esus]ly get better o[E]ne by one[A] [E/F#] [Esus] [D]
[Outro]
One by o[A]ne[E/F#] [Esus] [D]
One by o[A]ne by [E/F#]one[Esus] [D]
One by on[A]e[E/F#] [Esus] [D]
[Fade out]
I looked out acr[A]oss[F#m7]... [E] [D]
