## NOTE: ~ ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ## [INTRO:] Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 Am [VERSE 1:]
             Em     Am
Sitting by a river

               Em   Am
On warm summer day

                Em
Thinking of the giver

      Am              Em   C
Who's also the taker away

               D 
Stunned by the suchness

        G            C      ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's not a lot to say
[VERSE 2:]
              Em       Am
Warmed by the mystery

                 Em      Am
Instead of being scared

             Em
Touched by a raindrop

 Am          Em
Anointing my head

C            D       G
River, be my mirror

             C      ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7
Grass, be my bed
[VERSE 3:]
Am             Em       Am
Love is in the shadows 

                      Em
Kissing leaves, one by one 

    Am            Em
And where I go it follows

    Am                Em
And warms me with the sun

C            D
Bright butterflying

        G             C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's so much to be done
[VERSE 4:]
    Am             Em
And you lie here beside me

     Am             Em
Your perfume in my nose

     Am            Em
Your eyes do not deny me

    Am                  Em
The space between us is closed

   C             D
We let the river speak for us

        G                   C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
There's nothing it does not know
[VERSE 5:]
Am               Em
Flowing and ever changing

Am               Em
Form in front of me

Am              Em
Taking all your secrets

   Am                Em
To spill them in the sea

C                 D
Spare one drop of precious water

G               C       ~ ~ Am  D7  Am  D7  Am
Then I might be free
[VERSE 6:]
             Em     Am
Sitting by a river

               Em   Am
On warm summer day

                Em
Thinking of the giver

      Am              Em   C
Who's also the taker away

               D 
Stunned by the suchness

        G            C      ~ ~ 
There's not a lot to say
