C majorC FF A minorAm G+G all through verses

Verse 1:
C majorC      FF
I met you in 82,
    A minorAm        G+G
over a crate of beer and not a few
C majorC          FF
I cracked a can and so did you,
A minorAm          G+G
we're going to change the world
C majorC          FF
The ghetto kings of downside town
A minorAm            G+G
the estates and parks of our hallowed ground
C majorC       FF
Doing anything that we found,
A minorAm        G+G
and on the river flowed
 C majorC      FF     A minorAm     G+G
You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
 C majorC        FF      A minorAm       G+G
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
 C majorC      FF     A minorAm     G+G
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you - you knew your place
 C majorC      FF       A minorAm           G+G
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed

Chorus:
A minorAm             C majorC   G+G  FF
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
A minorAm             C majorC   G+G  FF
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow

Verse 2:
C majorC                FF
I don't know how you made it through
A minorAm         G+G
all the smoke and brew you do
C majorC                FF
It sure has left its mark on you
A minorAm         G+G
but you're still with us today
C majorC                FF
Life goes on and round we go
A minorAm         G+G
and words can kill these things I know
C majorC                FF
Sometimes you cut deeply so,
A minorAm         G+G
but on the river flows
C majorC                FF
You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
A minorAm         G+G
You'd clip the wings of any rising god
C majorC                FF
But man can't live on hope alone,
A minorAm         G+G
it can be cut all that is grown
C majorC                FF
Broke your spirit but not your bones
A minorAm         G+G
and on the river flows

Chorus:
A minorAm             C majorC   G+G  FF
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
A minorAm             C majorC   G+G  FF
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow

Verse 3:
C majorC                FF
You're working now - forced to the race
A minorAm         G+G
I know it left a bitter taste
C majorC                FF
But the rising tide had covered your face
A minorAm         G+G
Nothing you could do
C majorC                FF
But I still remember the day you said
A minorAm         G+G
That the river flowing through my head
C majorC                FF
Would take me far or leave me dead
A minorAm         G+G
And all you said was true

Outro:
C majorC       FF       A minorAm      G+G
on and on and on and on and on and on and on
C majorC       FF       A minorAm      G+G
and on and on and on and on and on the river flowed
C majorC       FF       A minorAm      G+G
on and on and on and on and on and on and on
C majorC       FF       A minorAm      G+G
