[E] So deep [A] in the water
[E] Sleeped darkness [A] the night
[D] Somehow it seems it [A] was all another dream
[E] Soon the moon dissolved in [A] the night
[E] Oh, we were by [A] the water
[E] They played the song [A] of the night
[D] In ascent to all [A] the peasant gods with you
[E] So we dreamt of [A] hearing you
On [D] the long [A] deep river Where [D] the [A] moorhens cried
As [D] the first sun [A] quivers in [E] the open sky
[Bm]
[A]
[E] Oh, she came down [A] the river
[E] Soon all the [A] leaves were still
[D] Current was strong and the [A] river was so long
[E] So we dreamt to [A] hear in you
In [D] the long cool [A] evening [D] When the [A] peacocks shivered
[D] And the boat [A] starts down the silver [E] river way
[A] I
[D] remember [A] you saying [D] As her deep [A] eyes opened
[D] In the first [A] light she could [E] hear someone
