[Intro] Dm G Em F Dm G Em F Am [Verse]
Am
There's a man in the river

Am
Policemen standing

     G
In a circle, smoking

          Am
Round the man

Am
Man in the water

                     G          C
Who sees nothing but circles
[Verse]
                             G
Could have been a fisherman

                             Am
Could have dived for pearls

                                                 C
Could have found the answer in the watery world

                           G
Could have been a builder

                          Am
Could have found the key

                                                C    Dm G
Could have run with the river and then into the sea
[Chorus]
       Em           F        Dm G
Did he run with the river?

       Em           F        Am
Did he run with the river?
[Verse]
Am
No more questions

Am
Just the river's answer

        G                 Am
For the man in the water

Am
His wife at the window

Am
Cursing the cameras

        G                   C
And the man in the water
[Verse]
                             G
Could have been a fisherman

                             Am
Could have dived for pearls

                                                 C
Could have found the answer in the watery world

                           G
Could have been a builder

                          Am
Could have found the key

                                                C    Dm G
Could have run with the river and then into the sea
[Chorus]
       Em           F        Dm G
Did he run with the river?

       Em           F        Dm G
Did he run with the river?

       Em           F        Dm G
Did he run with the river?

       Em           F        Am
Did he run with the river?
[Bridge]
                               G
Is there a light at the window

G
A candle burning

G
A young girl turning

     Em         F     G C
In a heart gone cold
[Instrumental]
                          G   Am
Could have been a fisherman....
Dm G Em F Dm G Em F Dm G Em F Dm G Em F Am [Verse]
Am
Some dark Sunday

Am
The women walking

G                  Am
Down by the water

Am
They speak of a diary

Am
The missing pages

        G     C
And the man
[Verse]
                             G
Could have been a fisherman

                             Am
Could have dived for pearls

                                                 C
Could have found the answer in the watery world

                           G
Could have been a builder

                          F
Could have found the key

                                                          Dm G
And the way I feel tonight, suppose it could have been me
[Chorus]
      Em           F      Dm G
Go to run with the river

      Em           F      Dm G
Go to run with the river

      Em           F      Dm G
Go to run with the river

      Em           F      Dm G
Go to run with the river

      Em           F      Dm G
Go to run with the river

      Em           F
Go to run with the river
