[F#]Who will save the [C#m]river valley? [G#m]That's my drinking [Bm7]water
[F#]This was once a [C#m]sacred place, now [G#m]look at what we've [Bm7]got here
[B]I'll pretend there [G]isn't any [A]prob[E]lem, just [A]do my [E]job
[B]And, if I don't like the [G]standard of living, [A]go [C#]move to [F#]Russia...

[F#]Me an' Pete went [C#m]swimming last night, [G#m]he's my friend from [Bm7]Boy Scouts
[F#]All the fish were [C#m]floating upright, [G#m]we got scared, and [Bm7]we got out
[B]Mother says don't [G]play down where your [A]fa[E]ther [A]does his [E]job
[B]You know he's got to [G]make a living [A]or [C#]move to [F#]Russia...

(this is my [C#m]world, this is my [F#]world, don't make it [C#m]go away
[F#]is it a [C#m]crime, spending my [F#]time, dreaming of [C#m]yesterday)

[F#]Meet me in the [C#m]river valley, [G#m]you can tell me [Bm7]stories
[F#]'Bout a time be[C#m]fore pinstripe suits, [G#m]dippers, grits, and [Bm7]tories
[B](my mother sang the [G]songs her mother [A]taught [E]her [A] [E]
[B]we'd be swimming [G]off in cool cool [A]wa[E]ter [A] [E]
[Bm]and when she'd call us [G]from the yard
[Bm]running home it [G]felt like god...)

[D].    .    .    .    [F#].    .    .    .

[B](this [F#m]is [B]my [F#m]world... [B]don't [F#m]take [B]it [F#m]A [F#]way)
[new_page]
Is your favourite [C#m]place controlled by [G#m]developing am[Bm7]bitions?
[F#]Do you think you'll [C#m]have some power [G#m]signing a pe[Bm7]tition?
[G#]Are you fine with [D#m]your surroundings? [A#m]Are they gonna [C7]crumble?
[G#]I'm living in the [D#m]river valley, [A#m]come and join me [C7]for a tumble!

([G#]high up above, see the [D#m]cars above the viaduct
[A#m]from sunrise to the last [C7]call, they push their [G#]luck
but that would be [D#m]fine
[A#m]if the world was [C7]yours, and you were [G#]mine)

Who will save the [D#m]river valley?
