Chords

[Intro] D A7 D A7 [Verse 1]
D
  Sailing down my dirty stream

        Em                        D     A7
Still I love it and I'll keep the dream

          D
That some day, though maybe not this year

          Em         A7             D
My Hudson River will once again run clear

          D
It starts high in the mountains of the north

        Em                     A7
Crystal clear and icy trickles forth

            D
With just a few floating wrappers of chewing gum

                Em        A7                D     A7
Dropped by some hikers to warn of things to come
[Verse 2]
D
  At Glens Falls, five thousand honest hands

            Em                 D     A7
Work at the consolidated paper plant

     D
Five million gallons of waste a day

              Em    A7        D
Why should we do it any other way?

         D
Down the valley one million toilet chains

        Em                            A7
Find my Hudson so convenient place to drain

    D
And each little city says, "Who, me?

       Em         A7                 D       A7  D  A7
Do you think that sewage plants come free?"
[Verse 3]
           D
Out in the ocean they say the water's clear

    Em                     D     A7
But I live right at Beacon here

     D
Half way between the mountains and the sea

        Em              A7                  D
Tacking to and fro this thought returns to me

D
Sailing down my dirty stream

      Em                 A7
Still I love it and I'll dream

          D
That some day, though maybe not this year

          Em         A7             D
My Hudson River will once again run clear
