Capo 2
G+G 
E minorEm
Well I dove into that river
C majorC G+G 
D MajorD
To see what I could find
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And the water it rolled on top of me
C majorC D MajorD
And the stars refused to shine
G+G E minorEm
Well I swam until I could not swim
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Then I swam a little more
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And the current held me like a lover?s arms
C majorC D MajorD
And then it left me on the shore
G+G E minorEm
Then I stood and looked to from where I came
C majorC G+G D MajorD
The place where I was born
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
But it seemed to me only half is real
C majorC D MajorD
Like the dark and distant storm
G+G E minorEm
And I breathed the air around me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
I felt my heart beat new
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
For I left my home and I nearly drowned
C majorC D MajorD G+G
For a glimpse of something few have ever seen
G+G E minorEm
Then I walked up from the shoreline
C majorC G+G D MajorD
To a city shining bright
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I walked the streets of that lovely place
C majorC D MajorD
Till the coming of the night
G+G E minorEm
But there were no voices speaking
C majorC G+G D MajorD
There was not a soul around
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
So I sat alone on an empty throne
C majorC D MajorD
In the middle of that town
C majorC G+G
And I said oh my, oh me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Oh me, oh my
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
There?s a river that runs between the sun
C majorC D MajorD
And the darkness of our lives
C majorC G+G
You can hit the road or stay in bed
C majorC G+G D MajorD
You can sink or swim or fight
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
But when all of this is said and done
C majorC D MajorD G+G
You gon? walk so gently still into that night
G+G E minorEm
Then I sat so still and silent
C majorC G+G D MajorD
With my head hanging low
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And an emptiness like a barren field
C majorC D MajorD
You know it settled round my soul
G+G E minorEm
Then a man appeared before me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Though I tried, I can?t deny
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
That he had my father?s face and hands
C majorC D MajorD
But his eyes shone like the sky
G+G E minorEm
He said my son, you?ve come too soon
C majorC G+G D MajorD
You better get on outta here
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
You know I?d let you stay but round here a day
C majorC D MajorD
Is much like a thousand years
G+G E minorEm
And your heart is like a diamond
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It splits the light in two
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And you?ll only shine for a certain time
C majorC D MajorD
Till you?re swallowed up in blue
C majorC G+G
And I said oh my, oh me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Oh me, oh my
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
There?s a river that runs between the sun
C majorC D MajorD
And the darkness of our lives
C majorC G+G
You can hit the road or stay in bed
C majorC G+G D MajorD
You can sink or swim or fight
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
But when all of this is said and done
C majorC D MajorD G+G
You gon? walk so gently still into that night
G+G E minorEm
So I dove into that river
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Again a second time
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And the water rolled on top of me
C majorC D MajorD
And the stars refused to shine
G+G E minorEm
Then I swam until I could not swim
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And I sank just like a stone
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
When I woke again I was laying in
C majorC D MajorD
My bed inside my home
G+G E minorEm
Then I walked out to the city streets
C majorC G+G D MajorD
With the voices high and bright
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I breathed the air without a care
C majorC D MajorD
And I walked so gently still
G+G
Into that light
