Wish I Were a River

[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
