   [Intro]
G       Em9      Dsus4      C     x3
Dsus4   G/B      Dsus4
 
 
   [Verse 1]
G/B                G   Em  D
I looked out across
    Cadd9      G    Em  D  Cadd9
The river today,
          G                    Em           D
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
          Cadd9        G  Em  D  C
Where the seagulls play,
             G      Em        D        Cadd9
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
         G         Em  D  Cadd9
In the sodium light
                 G
I saw two priests on the ferry
Em      D            Cadd9 G          Em  D   Cadd9
October geese on a cold winter's night
 
 
   [Chorus]
    Em9           D/F#  Em
And all this time,
    A7          A7sus4  Cadd9
The river flowed
   Dsus4 D Dsus4  D         G   Em9  G/D  C
Endlessly         to the sea.
 
 
   [Verse 2]
G/B                   Em D Cadd9     G      Em  D  Cadd9
Two priests came round     our house tonight
    G              Em                D         Cadd9
One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying
             G         Em  D  Cadd9
To serve the final rites,
             G       Em   D  Cadd9
One to learn, one to teach,
              G              Em  D  Cadd9
Which way the cold wind blows
G           Em                   D
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
       Cadd9     G    Em  D  Cadd9
Like a murder of crows
 
 
   [Chorus]
    Em9           D/F#  Em
And all this time,
    A7          A7sus4  Cadd9
The river flowed
   Dsus4 D Dsus4  D         G   Em9  G/D  C
Endlessly         to the sea.
   Gsus4 Em9           A7                  A7sus4  Cadd9
If i had my way ,take a boat from the river
        Dsus4    D   Dsus4    D        G     Em9  G/D  C
And i,d bury the old man  ,Id bury him at sea
 
 
   [Verse 3]
                G/B Em9 D Cadd9                        Em9 D  Cadd9
Blessed are the poor,     for they shall inherit the earth
G                Em           D              Cadd9        G Em9  D  Cadd9
Better to be poor  than a fat man in the eye of the needle
                   G             Em9    D  Cadd9
And as these words were spoken I swear  
              G        Em9  D  Cadd9
I hear he old man laughing,
      G                 Em9        D
"What good is a used up world, and how could it be 
Cadd9        G  Em9  D
Worth having"
 
 
   [Chorus]
    Em9               A7          A7sus4  Cadd9
And all this time the river flowed
   Dsus4 D Dsus4 D      G          Em9  G  Gsus4
Endlessly        like a silent tear
    Em9               A7          A7sus4  Cadd9
And all this time the river flowed
        Dsus4    D
Father, if Jesus exists,
Dsus4            D           G
Then how come he never lived here.

   [Bridge]
                  A  F#m7   E  Dadd9
The teachers told us, 
           A               F#m7  E  Dadd9
The Romans built this place
                        A
They built a wall and a temple, 
F#m7        E             Dadd9    A    F#m7  E  Dadd9
And an edge of the empire garrison town,
               A          F#m7        E            Dadd9
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
        A              F#m7       E     Dadd9
But the stone gods did not make a sound
          A                 F#m7    E            Dadd9
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
                A      F#m7      E   Dadd9
Were the stones the workmen found
 
 
   [Chorus]
        F#m       E  F#m
And all this time
    B7           B7sus4  D
The river flowed
   Esus4                A           F#m  A
In the falling light of northern sun
Asus4    F#m
If I had my way
           B7                 B7sus4  D
I'd take a boat from the river
Esus4
Men go crazy in congregations
Esus4
But they only get better one by one
 
 
   [Fade Out]
A  F#m   E    D
 
        A  F#m
One by one.
       A      D
One by one by one
       A   F#m
One by one
         A   D
I looked out across
