C F Am G all through verses
[Verse 1]
C F I met you in 82, Am G over a crate of beer and not a few C F I cracked a can and so did you, Am G we're going to change the world C F The ghetto kings of downside town Am G the estates and parks of our hallowed ground C F Doing anything that we found, Am G and on the river flowed C F Am G You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones C F Am G You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams C F Am G Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you - you knew your place C F Am G Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed
[Chorus]
Am C G F On and on the river flow - we are the undertow Am C G F On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
[Verse 2]
C F I don't know how you made it through Am G all the smoke and brew you do C F It sure has left its mark on you Am G but you're still with us today C F Life goes on and round we go Am G and words can kill these things I know C F Sometimes you cut deeply so, Am G but on the river flows C F You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd Am G You'd clip the wings of any rising god C F But man can't live on hope alone, Am G it can be cut all that is grown C F Broke your spirit but not your bones Am G and on the river flows
[Chorus]
Am C G F On and on the river flow - we are the undertow Am C G F On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
[Verse 3]
C F You're working now - forced to the race Am G I know it left a bitter taste C F But the rising tide had covered your face Am G Nothing you could do C F But I still remember the day you said Am G That the river flowing through my head C F Would take me far or leave me dead Am G And all you said was true
[Outro]
C F Am G on and on and on and on and on and on and on C F Am G and on and on and on and on and on the river flowed C F Am G on and on and on and on and on and on and on C F Am G and on and on and on and on and on the river flowed
