[C]
All that [G] I have is a [F] river, [Am] the river is always [E] my home.
[C] Lord take [F] me away, [Am] for I just cannot [F] stay, [C] I'll sink in [Am] my [B] skin and my [F]
bones.
The [C] water [G] sustains me [C] without even [F] trying, [C] the water [G] comes round me, [Am] I'm done with [F] my God.
[C]
Please help [Em] me build a [Dm] small [F] boat, [Am] one that'll ride on the [E] flue.
Where [Em] the river runs [F] deep and [Am] the larks are [F] fish cream, [C] I'm glad of [Dm] what keeps me [F] afloat.
[C] The water [Em]
sustains me [C] without even [F]
trying, [C] the water [Em] comes round me, [Am] I'm done with [F] my God.
[C]
Now deeper [G] the water [F] I've sailed, [Am] and faster the current [E] I'm in.
But [C] each night [F] brings the stars [Am] and the song in my [F] heart, [C] is a tune for [Dm] the journeyman's [F] tale.
The
[C] water [G] sustains me [C] without [F] even trying, the [C] water [G] comes round me, [Am] I'm done with [F] my darling.
Now the [E] land that I knew is a [Am] dream, and the [E] line of distance [Am] grows faint.
So [C] wide is [Dm] my river, the [C] horizon a [Dm] sliver, the [C] artist [G] has run out [F] of paint.
Where the [C] blue [G] of the sea meets the [F] sky, and the [Am] big yellow sun leads me [E] home.
[C] I'm everywhere [F] now, the [A] way is [F] avowed, to [C] the wind I'll reach [D] breath [Dm] by and [F] by.
The [C] water [Em] sustains me [C] without even [F] trying, [C] the water [G] comes round me, [Am] I'm done with [F] my darling.
