[F]
[Bb]
The [Eb] sky [Bb] was clear on that windy day, till the clear blue sky [Eb] began [Bb] to turn to grey.
[Eb] The lightning flashed, the thunder rolled above,
[F] then fell a drop of rain to start all over again.
Let the river [Ebm] get a while, the river get a while, the river get a while, the river get
[Ab] a while, the river get a while, the river get a while, the river get a while.
The river gets wild now, [Db] the water runs deep, and [Bbm] our love gets strong now.
So [Ebm] baby don't you fight, and say [Ab] you belong now, [Bbm] to me.
[Ab] [Db]
[Bb]
Upon the roof, we heard a gentle ring, with the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came.
[Eb] As a heavy rock, hard to feel the pain [F] Though the one on earth can't stop a drop of
rain And the river [Ebm] gets wide, the river [Ab] gets long
[Db] now The water runs deep, the line [Bbm] gets strong
now So baby [Ebm] don't you fight and say [Ab] you belong
[Db] now to me
[Bbm] And the river [Ebm] gets wide, the river [Ab] gets long
now The water [Db] runs deep, the line [Bbm] gets strong
now So baby [Ebm] don't you fight and say [Ab] you belong
now [F] to me [Bb] And the river [Ebm] gets wide, the river [Ab] gets long
now The water [Db] runs deep, the line [Bbm] gets strong
now So baby [Ebm] don't you fight and say [Ab] you belong
now [F] to me [Bb] And the [Ebm] river runs wide, the river [Ab] gets long now
