River Waltz Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm going to find me a dying river
And strike a deal with her I'll say,
"I'll [F]fold you in two and
I'll carry you away
To a [C]place where your
headwaters will flow
Clean through to your [G]mouth."

[Verse 2]
In re[C]turn I'll request a small sanctuary
By her [F]banks where we will live
with our small family
She will [C]water our garden
and clean the [G]dirt from our skin.
While the world [F]clamours at our door
We will [G]dance and not let them [C]in.

[Verse 3]
[C]And if one day we wake up
to a bed dry as a bone
[F]Find our river stolen,
find our sanctuary gone
We will [C]stand and take
stock and be grateful
For what we've not [G]lost.

[Verse 4]
We will [C]pack up our bags,
pack our small family
[F]Head across the valley to
where the aspen trees
[C]Shiver as they ascend - the green
hills rising to [G]blue.
At the [F]edge of the chopping
we will [G]turn
And bid fond "adieu".
[C]

[Verse 5]
[F]All that I know to be [C]true
Is the touch of your [G]hand on my skin.
[F]One look from you can so [C]easily soothe
All this [G]turmoil within

[Verse 6]
As we [Dm]dance cheek to cheek
With our [Am]feet so completely
[C]Locked in a time all our [G]own.
[Dm]I stop to speak
But [Am]you gently keep me
[C]Moving in time [G]to the song.
And in a [F]voice that is sloppy
[Am]with gin[Dm]
You say, "let the world spin."
[C]

[Verse 7]
I'm going to find me a dying river
And strike a deal with her I'll say,
"I'll [F]fold you in two and
I'll carry you away
To [C]place where your headwaters
will flow
Clean through to your [G]mouth."

[Verse 8]
In [C]re turn I'll request a small sanctuary
By her [F]banks where we will live
with our small family
She will [C]water our garden and clean the
dirt from [G]our skin.
While the world [F]clamours at our door
We will [G]dance and not let them in[C].
