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


Verse 1:

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

Instrumental: x2

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


Verse 2:

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


Instrumental: x2

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


Chorus:

       G   A       D        Em
So the sun shines above his town
G          A      Bm
Welcoming another day
        G     A     D     Em
And the still water rises up
G         A         D
Even on a Christmas day


Instrumental: x2

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


Verse 2:

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


Instrumental: x2

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

Chorus:

       G   A       D        Em
So the sun shines above his town
G          A      Bm
Welcoming another day
        G     A     D     Em
And the still water rises up
G         A         D
Even on a Christmas day
