[Intro]
G7#9 Dm C
[Verse 1]
G7#9 Dm C I looked out across G7#9 Dm C The river today, G7#9 I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower G7#9 Dm C G7#9 Where the seagulls play, G7#9 Dm C G7#9 I saw the sad shire horses walking home G7#9 Dm C G7#9 In the sodium light G7#9 I saw two priests on the ferry G7#9 Dm C G7#9 October geese on a cold winter's night
[Chorus]
Em9 And all this time, A7 Cadd9 The river flowed Dsus4 D Dsus4 D G7#9 Endlessly to the sea.
[Verse 2]
G7#9 Dm C G7#9 Two priests came round our house tonight G7#9 Dm C One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying G7#9 Dm C To serve the final rites, G7#9 Dm C One to learn, one to teach, G7#9 Dm C Which way the cold wind blows G7#9 Dm C Fussing and flapping in priestly black G7#9 Like a murder of crows
[Chorus]
Em9 And all this time, A7 Cadd9 The river flowed Dsus4 D G Endlessly to the sea. Em9 A7 Cadd9 If i had my way ,take a boat from the river Dsus4 D G7#9 And i,d bury the old man ,Id bury him at sea
G7#9 Dm C G7#9
G7#9 Dm C G7#9
[Verse 3]
G7#9 Dm C G7#9 Dm C Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth G7#9 Dm C G7#9 Dm C Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of the needle G7#9 Dm C And as these words were spoken I swear G7#9 Dm C I hear he old man laughing, G7#9 Dm C G7#9 "What good is a used up world, and how could it be worth having"
[Chorus]
Em9 A7sus4 Cadd9 All this time the river flowed Dsus4 D G Endlessly like a silent tear Em9 A7 Cadd9 And all this time the river flowed Dsus4 D Father, if Jesus exists, Dsus4 D G7#9 Then how come he never lived here.

[Bridge]
A Dadd9/A The teachers told us, A Dadd9/A The Romans built this place A They built a wall and a temple, Dadd9/A A Dadd9/A And an edge of the empire garrison town, A Dadd9/A They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods A Dadd9/A But the stone gods did not make a sound A Dadd9/A And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left A Dadd9/A Were the stones the workmen found
[Chorus]
F#m And all this time B7 Dadd9 The river flowed Esus4 E A Endlessly to the sea F#m If I had my way B7 D9 I'd take a boat from the river Esus4 Men go crazy in congregations, but they only get better one by one B7 D Ye-he-he Esus4 A7#9 Men go crazy in congregations, but they only get better one by one
