The River

A

[Verse 1]
E              A
So deep in the water
E                  A
Sleep, dark as the night
D                       A
Somehow it seems it was all another dream
E                     A
Soon dissolved in the light.

[Verse 2]
E                  A
Oh, we were by the waterline.
E                      A
Vague, the song of the night.
D                   A
Innocent to all the peasant gods with you,
E                   A
So, we drink to be renewed.

[Chorus]
       D          A
On the long, deep river
          D        A
Where the moorhens cry
        D        A              E         D A
As the first sun quivers in the open sky ai ai

[Verse 3]
E                     A
Oh, she came down the river.
E                         A
Soon, all the leaves were still.
D                              A
The current was strong and the river was so long.
E                  A
So, we drink to be renewed.

[Chorus]
D                A
In the long cool evening,
D                  A
Where the peacocks shiver
        D           A        E                 D A
And the boat starts down the silver river way ay ay
  D            A
I remember you saying,
       D         A
As her deep eyes opened,
       D           A
In the first light seeing her,
         E          D  A
Here is someone new ew ew
