Chords with lyrics

C majorC G+G C majorC FF
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF


Verse:
 C majorC     G+G       FF
All that I have is a river
   A minorAm         E MajorE
The river is always my home
   C majorC     FF    A minorAm      FF
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones


Chorus:
  C majorC    G+G      C majorC     FF
The water sustains me without even trying
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
The water can't drown me, I'm done
    FF   C majorC
With my dyy...ing

 C majorC     G+G       FF
Please help me build a small boat
   A minorAm         E MajorE
One that’ll ride on the flow
    C majorC      FF
Where the river runs deep
    A minorAm      FF
And the larger fish creep
  C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
I’m glad of what keeps me afloat

  C majorC    G+G      C majorC     FF
The water sustains me without even trying
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
The water can't drown me, I'm done
    FF   C majorC
With my dyy...ing

   C majorC     G+G    FF
Now deeper the water I sail
   A minorAm          E MajorE
And faster the current I’m in
   C majorC      FF
That each night brings the stars
    A minorAm      FF
And the song in my heart
   C majorC       G+G      A minorAm
Is a tune for the journeyman’s tale

  C majorC    G+G      C majorC     FF
The water sustains me without even trying
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
The water can't drown me, I'm done
    FF   C majorC
With my dyy...ing

Bridge:
 E MajorE              A minorAm
Now the land that I knew is a dream
 E MajorE                 A minorAm
And the line on the distance grows faint
  C majorC     FF     C majorC     FF
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
   C majorC     FF     A minorAm   FF
The artist has run out of paint

  C majorC    G+G      C majorC     FF
The water sustains me without even trying
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
The water can't drown me, I'm done
    FF   C majorC
With my dyy...ing

      C majorC      G+G       FF
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
    A minorAm            E MajorE
And the big yellow sun leads me home
  C majorC     FF
I’m everywhere now
  A minorAm    FF
The way is a vow
    C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
To the wind of each breath by and by

  C majorC    G+G      C majorC     FF
The water sustains me without even trying
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
The water can't drown me, I'm done
    FF   C majorC
With my dyy...ing
