VERSE 1 
Am                      F     G 
I stood and watched my Daddy die 
Am            F        Em 
No one could help his plight 
Am                F        G 
He was trying to save our home 
Am                   F     Em 
On the day that the river rose 
Am               F          G 
It came alive I heard them say 
           RIFF #1 
           Am               F        Em     Am 
"There was nothing we could do as he washed away"

VERSE 3 
Am                   F       G 
Won't you follow me late at night 
Am                     F       Em 
To the river when the moon is bright 
Am               F       G 
We can wash our sorrows down 
Am               F       Em 
Underneath that shining round 
Am              F           G 
Sitting in the still night air 
Am                  F     Em 
Can't you feel our Daddy there 
Am                         F        G 
There's life and death in all this power 
Am                F       Em 
Underneath these shining stars 

Am                F        G 
Running from the heart of it 
Am              F        Em 
Right into the cause of it 
Am                F        G 
Running from the heart of it 
Am              F        Em 
Right into the cause of it 
Am                F        G 
Running from the heart of it 
Am              F        Em 
Right into the cause of it 
Am                F        G 
Running from the heart... 
Am              F        Em
