Verse 1:

D MajorD    A/C#A/C#       G/DG/D   D MajorD
Standing strong he let the old cogs run
G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
Winding down the river weirs
D MajorD   A/C#A/C#      G/DG/D  D MajorD
Manual work that he'd always done
 G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
Dependably for many years
D MajorD       A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D   D MajorD
Evening would come and he'd ramble along
  G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
The banks with his tools of trade
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#   G/DG/D  D MajorD
Boats sailed by as the reeds bow
G+G        A augmentedA     D MajorD
Gently with the wash they made

D, A/C#, G/D, D MajorD
G, A, D MajorD


Verse 2:

D MajorD       A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D   D MajorD
Passing by the cinema would take him home
G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Not since a child he'd been
D MajorD        A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D  D MajorD
But you'd never see him in a restaurant
G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Only lived within his means
D MajorD        A/C#A/C#    G/DG/D  D MajorD
Happy though he was with a simple life
G+G       A augmentedA   D MajorD
Baffled seeing others dreams
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#    G/DG/D   D MajorD
Only felt complete ever working on
  G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
And living by the flowing stream

Instrumental: x2

D, A/C#, G/D, D MajorD
G, A, D MajorD


Chorus:

    G+G  A augmentedA    D MajorD    E minorEm
So the sun shines above his town
G+G     A augmentedA   B minorBm
Welcoming another day
    G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD   E minorEm
And the still water rises up
G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
Even on a Christmas day


Instrumental: x2

D, A/C#, G/D, D MajorD
G, A, D MajorD


Verse 2:

D MajorD     A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D   D MajorD
Everybody saw there was nothing like
  G+G       A augmentedA     D MajorD
The rainfall that came their way
D MajorD         A/C#A/C#   G/DG/D    D MajorD
People close their doors and windows to try
  G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
And keep the water well at bay
D MajorD     A/C#A/C#       G/DG/D    D MajorD
Do we understand the simple things in life
G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Heaven may be what we know
D MajorD        A/C#A/C# G/DG/D    D MajorD
Falling from the mill late that night
G+G         A augmentedA    D MajorD
The waters finally took him home


Instrumental: x2

D, A/C#, G/D, D MajorD

Chorus:

    G+G  A augmentedA    D MajorD    E minorEm
So the sun shines above his town
G+G     A augmentedA   B minorBm
Welcoming another day
    G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD   E minorEm
And the still water rises up
G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
Even on a Christmas day
