Em            G6*                    Asus2sus4              Aadd9
   It took forever and a day for the canyons and coasts to erode away

       Em                    G6*                Asus4      A
By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed

Em                G6*              Asus2sus4               Aadd9
   And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass

      Em                                   G6*                 Asus4*      A
Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change
[Chorus]
G                                  F
  Let it come down, let it come down

                             G
Let it make in you a new river!

                                 F
Let it come down, let it come down

                  C          Em
Let it make in you a new river!
[Interlude 1] Em Bm Asus2sus4 A [Verse 2]
Em            G6                            Asus2                 A
   I know the winds from the south have the waves riled up like a hungry mouth

         Em                         G6*                               Asus4   A
And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole

Em             G6                                  Asus2                       A
   Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides

        Em                               G6
But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides

         A7sus2              Asus2
And like her, you'll be made new again
[Interlude 2] G69 Bm Asus2sus4 A [Chorus]
G**                                C/G**
  Let it come down, let it come down

                             G**
Let it make in you a new river!

                                 Gsus4**
Let it come down, let it come down

                  Gsus2**    G
Let it make in you a new river!

                                 F
Let it come down, let it come down

                  C/G        G
Let it make in you a new river!

                                 F
Let it come down, let it come down

                  C/G        G
Let it make in you a new river!

Let it make in you a new river!
