[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][F][C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]All that
I [G]have is a [F]river
[Am]The river is always my [E]home
Lord, [C]take me away
[F]For I jus[Am]t cannot sta[F]y
Or I'll [C]sink in my [Dm]skin and my [F]bones

[Verse 2]
The wa[C]ter [G]sustains me
[C]without even [F]trying
The wa[C]ter can't [G]drown me,
I'm [Am]done
With my [F]dying
[C]

[Verse 3]
Please, help me [G]build a small [F]boat
[Am]One that'll ride on [E]the flow
Where [C]the river runs [F]deep
And [Am]the larger fish [F]creep
I'm [C]glad of what [Dm]keeps me [F]afloat

[Verse 4]
The wa[C]ter sus[G]tains me
[C]without even [F]trying
The wa[C]ter can't [G]drown me,
I'm [Am]done
With my [F]dying
[C]

[Verse 5]
Now, deeper the [G]water I [F]sail
And [Am]faster the current I'm [E]in
That each [C]night brings the [F]stars
[Am]And the song in my [F]heart
Is a [C]tune for the [Dm]journeyman's [F]tale

[Verse 6]
The wa[C]ter sus[G]tains me
[C]without even [F]trying
The wa[C]ter can't [G]drown
me, I'm [Am]done
With my [F]dying

[Verse 7]
Now, [E]the land that I knew is [Am]a dream
And [E]the line on the distance grows [Am]faint
So [C]wide is my [Dm]river
The ho[C]rizon a sliv[Dm]er
The [C]artist has [G]run out of [F]paint

[Verse 8]
Where [C]the blue of [G]the sea meets [F]the sky
And [Am]the big yellow sun leads me [E]home
I'm [C]everywhere [F]now
[Am]The way is [F]a vow
To the [C]wind of each [Dm]breath by and [F]by

[Verse 9]
The wa[C]ter sustain[G]s me
[C]without even [F]trying
The wa[C]ter can't [G]drown me, I'm [Am]done
With my [F]dying
