• Capo on 2nd

A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA
I laid down by the river’s edge

     A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
I laid down wondering where it led

     A augmentedA        D MajorD    A augmentedA
I laid down by the river’s edge

      F# minorF#m     D MajorD    A augmentedA
And I woke up in a river bed


       A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA
There were flowers in my hair

     A augmentedA        D MajorD    A augmentedA
River flowers floating everywhere

       A augmentedA         D MajorD      A augmentedA
And all the fishes came and kissed my feet

     F# minorF#m       D MajorD     A augmentedA
Dear old fishes, they said to me

      C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
They said oh, we could love you

      D MajorD         A augmentedA
But we are not yet what you want

     C# minorC#m         F# minorF#m
Because oh, anyone could love you

        D MajorD         A augmentedA
You’ve got to find where you belong


     A augmentedA         D MajorD     A augmentedA
All my needles, they were gone so fast

     A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA
Not a needle left on a branch

     A augmentedA       D MajorD     A augmentedA
I grew weaker and the river strong

       F# minorF#m        D MajorD      A augmentedA
I said, hey fishes But the fish were gone

     A augmentedA           D MajorD     A augmentedA
Now the boulders I know they heard me cry

        A augmentedA           D MajorD    A augmentedA
But they were stone-faced and they stood aside

      A augmentedA       D MajorD    A augmentedA
So I went on at the river’s pace

     F# minorF#m               D MajorD     A augmentedA
With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say


      C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
They said oh, we could love you

      D MajorD         A augmentedA
But we are not yet what you want

     C# minorC#m          F# minorF#m
Because oh, we would only crush you

        D MajorD        A augmentedA
You’ve got to find where you belong


 C# minorC#m       D MajorD
How does it feel

      F# minorF#m
To be so certain

      D MajorD
Without question

      A augmentedA
Of your purpose

 F# minorF#m
Your position

     D MajorD
Of your place

     A augmentedA
Of your home?

     D MajorD
Of your place

     E MajorE
Of your home


 C# minorC#m            C# minorC#m
You cannot catch the river though

  D MajorD           A augmentedA
It makes you think you can

 C# minorC#m              C# minorC#m
It trickles through your fingers

      D MajorD         A augmentedA
While you hold it in your hands

      D MajorD
Just like I am

      A augmentedA
Just like I am

      D MajorD
Just like I am

      A augmentedA
Just like I am
