Intro:
E minorEm

Verse 1:
E minorEm      G6*          Asus2sus4       Aadd9Aadd9
  It took forever and a day for the canyons and coasts to erode away
    E minorEm          G6*        Asus4Asus4   A augmentedA
By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed

E minorEm        G6*       Asus2sus4        Aadd9Aadd9
  And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass
   E minorEm                  G6*         Asus4*   A augmentedA
Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change

Chorus:
G+G                 FF
 Let it come down, let it come down
               G+G
Let it make in you a new river!
                 FF
Let it come down, let it come down
         C majorC     E minorEm
Let it make in you a new river!

Verse 2:
E minorEm      G6G6              Asus2Asus2         A augmentedA
  I know the winds from the south have the waves riled up like a hungry mouth
     E minorEm             G6*                Asus4Asus4  A augmentedA
And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole

E minorEm       G6G6                 Asus2Asus2            A augmentedA
  Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides
    E minorEm                G6G6
But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides
     A7sus2       Asus2Asus2
And like her, you'll be made new again
