The Water

.	C G C F
.	C G a F
All that I have is a river	C G F
The river is always my home	a E
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay	C F a F
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones	C G F

The water sustains me without even trying	C G C F
The water can't drown me, I'm done	C G a
With my dying	F C

Please help me build a small boat	C G F
One that'll ride on the flow	a E
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep	C F a F
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat	C G F

The water sustains me without even trying	C G C F
The water can't drown me, I'm done	C G a
With my dying	F C

Now deeper the water I sail	C G F
And faster the current I'm in	a E
But each night brings the stars	C F
And the song in my heart	a F
Is a tune for the journeyman's tale	C G F

The water sustains me without even trying	C G C F
The water can't drown me, I'm done	C G a
With my dying	F

Now the land that I knew is a dream	E a
And the line on the distance grows faint	E a
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver	C F C F
The artist has run out of paint	C G F

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky	C G F
And the big yellow sun leads me home	a E
I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow	C F a F
To the wind of each breath by and by	C G F

The water sustains me without even trying	C G C F
The water can't drown me, I'm done	C G a
With my dying	F C
