Johnny Flynn – River Mountain And Love (Guitar)

       E             Am      G         C        E   Am   E Am E
Let me tell you the story of river and mountain and love

      D           G             F              E         Am     E Am E
Well river spoke starlight and dance with the cosmos in motion

C            G                Am
Dew dappled grass blades bent low to the river

C            G          Am           D
Kissing the cuckoo sang soft to the river

   E            Am             G            D  E        Am   G Am G
Oh river spoke starlight and dance with the cosmos in motion

        E             Am          G               C      E  Am       E Am E
And the banks of the river where small creatures hum in the sunlight

D          G            F          E         Am     E Am E
Messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper

C            G           Am
Mountain is calling and singing his song

C            G                Am             D
Flow by me river flow down in all lifetimes long

   E        Am           G            D     E   Am      G C E
Oh messages drift on the wings of the damselfly whisper

    C           E       Am           F
For love's long song is ours for the singing

C            G        Am       F
Love's great story is ours to tell

C         E                 Am
Bells set ringing and inset running

         E         Am           G            C   E         Am   E Am E
And the river sang back to the heart in the splendour and glory

D           G            F          E            Am     E Am E
Fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring

           C         G            Am
Won't you tumble and dance to the bluebell sea

           C              G               Am             D
Won't you melt them back down, won't you come home with me

       E          Am          G            D  E       Am     G Am G
River fed all the ferns who unfurl in the old love of spring

        E                Am               G          C      E  Am       E Am E
And the mountain smiled back, "now you're teasing me river old friend"

D       G            F             E         Am     E Am E
River replied with a lark and the ripple and went

      C              G             Am
For a separate they were they were one through all time

       C        G               Am            D
Many ice ages known since their forms were combined

   E        Am           G            D     E   Am   G C E
Oh river replied with a lark and the ripple and went

    C           E       Am           F
For love's long song is ours for the singing

C            G        Am       F
Love's great story is ours to tell

C         E                 Am
Bells set ringing and inset running

        E              Am         G               C   E      Am       E Am E
And the mountain knows river has rained from the peak to the gulliess

D       G            F               E           Am      E Am E
Snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing

      C        G             Am
The river knows mountain has vessel and form

      C                  G               Am          D
And a shape changed with ice sheets when both were reborn

     E      Am           G               D    E      Am      G C E
And snowy embrace in its cloud drifting lurching and kissing

    C           E       Am           F
For love's long song is ours for the singing

C            G        Am       F
Love's great story is ours to tell

C         E                 Am       F
Bells set ringing and inset running

C           E       Am           F
Love's long song is ours for the singing

C            G        Am      F
Love's great story is ours to tell

C         E                 Am
Bells set ringing and inset running
