Johnny Flynn – The Water (Ukulele)

C             G           F
All that I have is a river

Am                              E
The river is always my home

C       F
Lord, take me away 

C        F
For I just cannot stay

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

C          G             Am          F
The water sustains me without even trying

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

F            C
With my dying

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

C            F
And the larger fish creep

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

C             G                  Am              F
The water sustains me without even trying

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

F             C
With my dying

C              G             F
Now deeper the water I sail

Am                E
And faster the current I'm in

C           F
But each night brings the stars

C           F
And the song in my heart 

C              G                     F
Is a tune for the Journeyman's tale

C               G               Am             F
The water sustains me without even trying

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

        F 
With my dying

Em                       Am
Now the land that I knew is a dream

Em                       Am
And the light in the distance grows faint

C                F
So wide is my river

C               F
The horizon a sliver

C            G            Am        F
The artist has run out of pain

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

C              F
The way is a vow 

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

C                G                 Am           F
The water sustains me without even trying

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

F             C
With my dying.
