CAPO 3RD

 
    E5                    C5
The life in us is like the water in a river
       G5                           D5
It may rise this year, it may rise higher
Than man has ever known
       E5                 C5
It may come to pass that immortal flowing river
    G5                       D5
May rise so high, flood the mountainside
To the valleys down below

E5  C5  G5  D5

(Chorus 1)
    B5                          C5                 G5      D5
The land where we dwell has not always been dry I see
    E5                    C5                    C5      G5 (lightly)
Far inland banks that were washed by the ancient stream

(Solo - not tabbed)

    E5                     C5
The sun up above shines its fury on the prairie
          G5                     D5        
You can't hide from it, you can try it
But you'll never get away
         E5                    C5
And they sow the fields but the clouds have all forsaken
            G5                  D5
And they've taken all, no more water fall
'Til the earth has turned to clay

E5  C5  G5  D5

(Chord pattern repeats, same as above)


(Chorus 2)

Long after we're gone still the earth will turn round and round
and all we've created will crumble into the ground


I see it all from where I'm standing on the mountain
Hear the valleys' cry, still some question why and they cannot see the way
We're digging graves every day they're getting deeper, for the birds that fly 
through the darkened sky, will there be another day?

(Chorus 1)

The life in us is like the water in a river
It may rise this year, it may rise higher
Than man has ever known
