Gm            Dm7           Gm     Dm7
  Bring you a tale from the pastel fields

Gm         Dm7      Gm        Dm7
  Where we ran when we were young

Gm          Dm7           Gm      Dm7
  This is a tale from the water meadows

Gm          Dm7         Gm             D7
  Trying to spread some hope into your heart

Gm                Dm7             Gm         Dm7
  It's mixed with happiness, it's mixed with tears

Gm              Dm7       Gm              Dm7
  Both life and death are carried in this stream

Gm          Dm7             Gm      Dm7
  That open space you could run for miles

Gm              Dm7     Gm         D7
  Now you don't get so many to the pound

F                  Dm                  A Asus4 A
True, it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

F                          Dm
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

     A        Asus4 A
That I always run to

          Dm
Won't you join me by the riverbank?

Gm         Dm7         Gm          Dm7
  Paradise found down by the still waters

Gm              Dm7         Gm         Dm7
  Joined in the race to the rainbow's end

Gm             Dm7             Gm      Dm7
  No fears, no worries, just a golden country

Gm        Dm7           Gm         Dm7
  Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset

    D5/C                 D5/B
Now life is so critical, life is too cynical

D5/Bb                  A           Asus4 A
We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul

F                  Dm                  A Asus4 A
True, it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

F                          Dm
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

     A        Asus4 A
That I always run to

F                  Dm                  A Asus4 A
True, it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

F                Dm
But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

A             Asus4 A
That I always run to

          Dm
Won't you join me by the riverbank?

            Dm
Come on and join me by the riverbank
