Verse:
 C5         G5             F5
All that I have is a river
     A5                 E5
The river is always my home
      C5         F5        A5           F5
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay
        C5          G5           A5
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones


Chorus:
    C5        G5           C5         F5
The water sustains me without even trying
    C5            G5            A5
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F5      C5
With my dyy...ing


 C5         G5             F5
Please help me build a small boat
     A5                 E5
One that?ll ride on the flow
       C5            F5
Where the river runs deep
       A5           F5
And the larger fish creep
    C5          G5           A5
I?m glad of what keeps me afloat

    C5        G5           C5         F5
The water sustains me without even trying
    C5            G5            A5
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F5      C5
With my dyy...ing

     C5         G5       F5
Now deeper the water I sail
     A5                    E5
And faster the current I?m in
      C5           F5
That each night brings the stars
        A5           F5
And the song in my heart
      C5             G5           A5
Is a tune for the journeyman?s tale

    C5        G5           C5         F5
The water sustains me without even trying
    C5            G5            A5
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F5      C5
With my dyy...ing

Bridge:
 E5                            A5
Now the land that I knew is a dream
 E5                                  A5
And the line on the distance grows faint
    C5          F5          C5         F5
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
     C5          F5          A5      F5
The artist has run out of paint


    C5        G5           C5         F5
The water sustains me without even trying
    C5            G5            A5
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F5      C5
With my dyy...ing

           C5           G5             F5
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
        A5                       E5
And the big yellow sun leads me home
    C5          F5
I?m everywhere now
    A5        F5
The way is a vow
       C5            G5             A5
To the wind of each breath by and by

    C5        G5           C5         F5
The water sustains me without even trying
    C5            G5            A5
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F5      C5
With my dyy...ing
