River

[INTRO:] Am  D7  Am  D7  Am  D7  Am  D7  Am

[VERSE 1:]
             Em     Am
Sitting by a river
               Em   Am
On warm summer day
                Em
Thinking of the giver
      Am              Em   C
Who's also the taker away
               D
Stunned by the suchness
        G            C      ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's not a lot to say


[VERSE 2:]
              Em       Am
Warmed by the mystery
                 Em      Am
Instead of being scared
             Em
Touched by a raindrop
 Am          Em
Anointing my head
C            D       G
River, be my mirror
             C      ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7
Grass, be my bed


[VERSE 3:]
Am             Em       Am
Love is in the shadows
                      Em
Kissing leaves, one by one
    Am            Em
And where I go it follows
    Am                Em
And warms me with the sun
C            D
Bright butterflying
        G             C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's so much to be done


[VERSE 4:]
    Am             Em
And you lie here beside me
     Am             Em
Your perfume in my nose
     Am            Em
Your eyes do not deny me
    Am                  Em
The space between us is closed
   C             D
We let the river speak for us
        G                   C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's nothing it does not know


[VERSE 5:]
Am               Em
Flowing and ever changing
Am               Em
Form in front of me
Am              Em
Taking all your secrets
   Am                Em
To spill them in the sea
C                 D
Spare one drop of precious water
G               C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
Then I might be free


[VERSE 6:]
             Em     Am
Sitting by a river
               Em   Am
On warm summer day
                Em
Thinking of the giver
      Am              Em   C
Who's also the taker away
               D
Stunned by the suchness
        G            C      ~ ~
There's not a lot to say
