Johnny Flynn – The Water (Guitar)

 C         G             F
All that I have is a river

     Am                 E
The river is always my home

      C         F        Am           F
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay

        C          Dm          F
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying

    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done

        F      C
With my dyy...ing

 C         G             F
Please help me build a small boat

     Am                 E
One that’ll ride on the flow

       C            F
Where the river runs deep

       Am           F
And the larger fish creep

    C          G           F
I’m glad of what keeps me afloat

    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying

    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done

        F      C
With my dyy...ing

     C         G       F
Now deeper the water I sail

     Am                    E
And faster the current I’m in

      C           F
That each night brings the stars

        Am           F
And the song in my heart

      C           Dm           F
Is a tune for the journeyman’s tale

    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying

    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done

        F      C
With my dyy...ing

 E                            Am
Now the land that I knew is a dream

 E                                  Am
And the line on the distance grows faint

    C         Dm          C        Dm
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver

     C         G          F      
The artist has run out of paint

           C           G             F
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

        Am                       E
And the big yellow sun leads me home

    C          F
I’m everywhere now

    Am        F
The way is a vow

       C            Dm             F
To the wind of each breath by and by

    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying

    C           G             Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done

        F      C
With my dyy...ing
