Intro (**you can see the small riff I've found at the end of the tab) :

D5 D5 A5 G5 G5 D5 D5
D5 D5 A5 G5 G5 D5 D5
G5 G5 D5 D5 A5 G5 D5 D5
G5 G5 D5 D5 A5 G5 G5  G5

D5

          A5                     G5                         D5
Down here everyone says that the River People don't really belong here.
Dl     A5                              G5                      D5
I know what it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier.
G5                                   D5
    People want your business and little more
A5                G5                    D5
    I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door.


D5              A5                        G5                   
              D5
Mountains wide, nothing is clearer to the River People than what the others try and hide.
D5         A5                              G5                  
             D5
You spoke, pushed your chair back at the meeting and I could tell that you were petrified.
G5                                          D5
    You said the best people can suddenly oppose
A5               G5                     D5
    The sight of good will and then it arose.
G5                                       D5
    Two people, four people crossed the floor
A5                 G5                  D5
    I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar

D5    A5 G5  D5
D5    A5 G5  D5


D5 [STOP]   A5                  G5                            D5
Around here your stranded face before the moonlight, the color of the sea.
D5 [STOP] A5                  G5                            D5
You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea.
G5                               D5
   The sky had opened, it had gone bust
A5            G5                          D5
   You and I watched the River People swim before us
G5                                  D5
   The sky had opened, it had gone bust
A5            G5                          D5
   You and I watched the river people swim before us

D5    A5 G5  D5
D5    A5 G5  D5


G5                                          D5
    You said the best people can suddenly oppose
A5               G5                     D5
   The sight of good will and then it arose.
G5                                       D5
    Two people, four people crossed the floor
A5                 G5                  D5
    I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar


D5
