[Verse 1]
[D]The[G][D][G]
[D]paddle boat rides
on the back of the river
and the [G]rain comes down.
The [D]wa ter level rises up
into the fields
where the [G]corn will drown.
Every [Em]farmer knows
some things cannot be tamed
[G]Like the riv[A]er and the rai[D]n[G]
A [D]man needs a woman
just as much as a woman [G]needs a man
The [D]cross they bear and the love they share
go [G]hand in hand
And [Em]our love is just two links
in one long [G]chain
Like the [A]river and [D]the rain
Cause if the [F#m]rain don't come
Then the river don't flow
And the [G]wheels don't turn
As a [F#m]picture needs a frame
A fire needs [G]wood to burn
Like [D]you and me
It's [Bm]all one and the s[G]ame,
like the [A]river and the [D]rain.[G][D][G]
There's [D]nothing like the
sound of a tin roof
tapping [G]up above your head.
Noth[D]in' like layin' there,
listenin' to it all from a [G]feather bed
They [Em]go together,
it just can't be explained
[G]Like you[Em] and me, the riv[A]er and the rai[D]n
If the [F#m]rain don't come,
then the river don't flow
and the [G]wheels don't turn
As a [F#m]picture needs a frame,
a fire needs [G]wood to burn
Like [D]you and me,
it's [Bm]all one and the same
[G]Like the [A]river and the [Bm]rain[A][Bm][A][G]
Like [D]you and me,
it's [Bm]all one and the same
[G]Like the [A]river and [D]the rain[F#m][G]
[F#m][G]
Like [D]you and me,
it's [Bm]all one and the s[G]ame
Like the [A]river and the rain
[D][G]
