Rivers

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[D]Our[C] hi[G]sto[D]ry[C][F][D]
runs down our rivers
Down our rivers to the sea
Reminds us of the things that matter
Home and heart [G]and his[D]tory
And all our sins will be [Dsus4]forgiven

[Verse 2]
[C]
Washed away [G]to set [D]us free
By the rivers that run through
our homesteads
By myth and mod[G]al melody[D]

[Verse 3]
[E]I traced these rivers from
[G]the cities to the seas
To [D]remind me of what I already
[A]know[Asus4][D]
[Esus4]I traced [E]the shorelines through a
[G]thousand histories
To [D]remind me an island is my home
[A]An island is my [D]home
[C][Dsus4][G][D]

[Verse 4]
I traveled far across this
country
Northumberland [G]to South[D]ern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to [G]London [D]town

[Verse 5]
And countless [D]lives were
[Dsus4]lived and lin[D]gered
In the [G]cotswells and [D]the fells
I left a tapestry called England
And life and those who lived it [Esus4]well
[E]I traced these r[Esus4]iver

[Verse 6]
s from [G]the cities to the seas
To [D]remind me of what I already
[A]know[D][Dsus4][D]
[Esus4]I traced [E]the[Esus4] shorelin[E]es through
a thou[G]sand histories
To [D]remind me an island [A]is my home
An island [D]is my [Dsus4]home

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 7]
Round here the [D]sky is a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still [G]to get found
[D]

[Verse 8]
And though I've seen a
[C]thousand [Dsus4]rivers[D]
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place that I'll lay my hat down

[Verse 9]
Is by an English riverside
[E]I traced these river[Esus4]s from
[G]the cities to the seas
To [D]remind me of what I
already [A]know[D]
[Esus4]I traced the shorelines through
[G]a thousand histories
To [D]remind me an island is [A]my home
An island is [Esus4]my home[D][G]
[D]So place your trust

[Verse 10]
into [A]the sea
It's kep[G]t us safe for centuries
[Asus4]It shaped[D] our shores
[A]and steadily
[G]Its care has brought [A]us, come
[D]And when I die, I hope [A]to

[Verse 11]
be [G]buried out in Eng[Asus4]lish seas
[D]So all that then re[A]mains of me
[G]Will lap against these shores
[A]Until England is [D]no [F]more
