     A minorAm           G+G             DmDm
Down here everyone says that the River People don't really belong here.
Dl   A minorAm               G+G           DmDm
I know what it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier.
G+G                  DmDm
  People want your business and little more
A minorAm        G+G          DmDm
  I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door.

DmDm       A minorAm            G+G
       DmDm
Mountains wide, nothing is clearer to the River People than what the others try and hide.
DmDm     A minorAm               G+G
       DmDm
You spoke, pushed your chair back at the meeting and I could tell that you were petrified.
G+G                     DmDm
  You said the best people can suddenly oppose
A minorAm        G+G           DmDm
  The sight of good will and then it arose.
G+G                    DmDm
  Two people, four people crossed the floor
A minorAm         G+G         DmDm
  I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar

DmDm  A minorAm G+G DmDm
Dm  A minorAm G+G DmDm


DmDm [STOP]  A minorAm         G+G              DmDm
Around here your stranded face before the moonlight, the color of the sea.
DmDm [STOP] A minorAm         G+G              DmDm
You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea.
G+G                DmDm
  The sky had opened, it had gone bust
A minorAm      G+G             DmDm
  You and I watched the River People swim before us
G+G                 DmDm
  The sky had opened, it had gone bust
A minorAm      G+G             DmDm
  You and I watched the river people swim before us

DmDm  A minorAm G+G DmDm
Dm  A minorAm G+G DmDm

G+G                     DmDm
  You said the best people can suddenly oppose
A minorAm        G+G           DmDm
  The sight of good will and then it arose.
G+G                    DmDm
  Two people, four people crossed the floor
A minorAm         G+G         DmDm
  I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar
