I looked out across
     C                     G Em7 D
The river today,
C            G                 Em7           D
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
          C                G Em7 D
Where the seagulls play.
C            G      Em7        D        C
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
         G                 D C
In the sodium light
                 G          Em7
I saw two priests on the ferry
        D              C    G          Em7 D
October geese on a cold winter's night 

      Em               A               C
And all this time, the river flowed
   Dsus   D Dsus D
Endlessly          to the sea. 

G D/E G/D C
           G           Em7 D C          G      Em7 D C
Two priests came round        our house tonight
      G           Em7               D
One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying
   C           G         Em7 D C
To serve the final rite,
             G       Em7     D C
One to learn, one to teach,
              G              D C
Which way the cold wind blows
G               Em7              D
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
       C         G       Em7 D
Like a murder of crows
        Em             A             C
And all this time, the river flowed
   Dsus   D Dsus D
Endlessly          to the sea
        Em                 A7sus            A7  C
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
           Dsus          D Dsus
And I'd bury the old man,
      D         G    D/E G/D C
I'd bury him at sea
  

                G     Em7 D C
Blessed are the poor,
               G                Em7 D C
for they shall inherit the earth
G                 Em7    D              C        G      Em7 D C
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
                   G          Em7      D C
And as these words were spoken I swear    I hear
    G                 D C
The old man laughing,
      G                 Em7        D
'What good is a used up world, and how could it be
C
worth having'
       Em             A             C
And all this time the river flowed
   Dsus D Dsus D          G         D/E G
Endlessly        like a silent tear
       Em             A             C
And all this time the river flowed
           Dsus    D
Father, if Jesus exists,
     Dsus        D           G      D/E
Then how come he never lived here.

The teacher told us,         the Romans built this place
                 A                F#m7    E             D
They built a wall and a temple, an    edge of the empire
         A     F#m7 E D
Garrison town,
               A         F#m           E             D
They lived and they died,   they prayed to their gods
        A              F#m        E     D
But the stone gods did not make a sound
             A            F#m        E              D
And their empire crumbled,   'til all that was left
               A
Were the stones the workmen found
      F#m             B             D
And all this time the river flowed
           Esus     E Esus E           A
In the falling light         of a northern sun
       F#m                 B7                  D
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
          Esus        E
Men go crazy in congregations
           Esus
But they only get better

The river today,
             A                 E/F#          Esus
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower

Where the seagulls play.
          A         E/F#       Esus     D
I saw the sad shire horses walking home

in the sodium light.
