[Ab] There are voices in the mirror, [B] faces [Gb] at the door,
[Ab] That open [Ebm] on the rivers [Dbm] we've never seen [Gb] before.
[B] Are there [Ab] choices for the [B] sparrow, [E] or [Gb] does he only fly
[Ab] high above [Ebm] the rivers
[Dbm] That are pulling you [Gb] and I?
For there are [E] strange rivers, [Gb]
[E] [B] rivers that you [Gb] cannot see,
And there are strange rivers [B]
that know our [Gb] destiny,
And there are strange rivers [B]
that run [Gb] your love [Ab] to [Abm] me.

And he could have been a [Ab] builder, [B]
he could have [Gb] been the one
[Ab] To turn his [Ebm] dreams to steel, [Db] [Abm] cathedrals in [Gb] the sun,
And he could have been a [Abm] builder.
[Gb]
Then he bought the gun, there are [Abm] forces in that [Ebm] river
[Ab] That keep him on [Gb] the run.
For there are [B] strange rivers,
[E] rivers that you [Gb] cannot see,
And there [E] are strange rivers [B]
[E] that know our [Gb] destiny,
And there are [B] strange rivers that run [Gb] your love [Abm] to me.

Have you ever turned [Ab] the corner [E] and [B] wondered [Gb] why you did?
[Ab] You haven't been [Ebm] that way, you know, since [Abm] you were [Gb] just a kid.
But nothing really [Abm] happens.
[B]
Then you [Gb] have to [Ab] say, what [Ebm] would have happened [Dbm] had I gone the other [Gb] way?
For there are [E] strange [B] rivers,
[E] [Ebm] rivers that you [Gb] cannot see,
And there are [E] strange rivers [B]
[E] that know our [Gb] destiny,
And there are [E] strange rivers [B]
that run [Gb] your love to [Abm] me.
