Along the ri-ver's na-ked banks that are straining for the storm
G       C         D G      C        D
On the sacred rock in thunder ocean the tree of man grows clear
Em    D      Em   D    C    G       D
The wood-larks sing, the bro-lga dance and the dawn is slipp-ing near

      G C    D
In your si-ng-ing land
    Em D    C
Shine on, oh shine on over me
