I looked out acGross EmD
The Criver toGday, EmDC
I saw a ciGty in the fog and an Emold church toDwer
Where the Cseagulls play, GEmDC
I saw the sGad shire Emhorses wDalking home C
In the sGodium light EmDC
I saw two Gpriests on the ferry
OEmctober geDese on a cCold winter\'s niGght EmD
And all Emthis time, D/F#Em
The Ariver flowed C
EndlDessly to the sGea. EmGD
( Verses are just G-Em-D-C repeated;Chorus is as above, repeated till end of chorus )
Two priests came round our house tonightOne young, one old, to offer prayers for the dyingTo serve the final rite,One to learn, one to teach,Which way the cold wind blowsFussing and flapping in priestly blackLike a murder of crows
Chorus:And all this time, the river flowedEndlessly to the sea
If I had my way I\'d take a boat from the riverAnd I\'d bury the old man,I\'d bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earthBetter to be poor than a fat man in the eye of the needleAnd as these words were spoken I swear I hearThe old man laughing,\"What good is a used up world, and how could it beWorth having\"
Chorus:And all this time the river flowedEndlessly like a silent tearAnd all this time the river flowedFather, if Jesus exist,Then how come he never lived here.
(Now switch key to A - thus this verse is A-F#m-E-D)
The teachers told us, the Romans built this placeThey built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empireGarrison town,They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a soundAnd their empire crumbled, \'til all that was leftWere the stones the workmen found
Chorus:
And all F#mthis time EF#m
The Briver flowed D
EnEdlessly to the Asea F#mA
If IF#m had my way EF#m
I\'d take a Bboat from the rivDer
Men go Ecrazy in congregations
But they only get betterOne by one
(repeat A-F#m-E-D progression and fade)
One by oneOne by one by oneOne by one
