[ring finger and pinky stay in same place for whole song except chorus:
G: 320033, C: 032033, F: 003233
G C G
I read your letter on the bank of the Charles
F C G
Your last goodbye was so sweet
G C G
The falling rain took your words from the page
F C G
Made them a puddle at my feet
Water does as is water's part
There was nothing left to say
Mixed with a tear and a memory we had
The river carried them away
Chorus:
F C G
Wish I were a river
F C G
Rolling restless to the end
F C G
Make a part of me whatever comes my way
F C G F C G
And never part again
Walked down the bank to the bridge where we met
Where two rivers turn to one
A word of thanks and a tinge of regret
For things that cannot be undone
Wish I were a river
Rolling restless to the end
Become a part of whatsoever comes my way
And never part again
Em C G D
Start to cry and run your hand down my face...
Em C G D
Kiss goodbye then linger on for a trace...
I dropped your note, stripped of words to the stream
Carried safely to the sea
Stripped of hope and bereft of my dreams
Taken what's been a part of me
Wish I were a river
Rolling restless to the end
Make a part of me whatever comes my way
And never part again...
Never part again
