Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Let  the river run,
 let all the dreamers
 wake the  nation.
Come,  the New Jerusalem.
Silver  cities rise,
 the morning lights
 the streets that  meet them,
and  sirens call them on
with  a song.
It's  asking for the  taking.
Trembling,  shaking.
Oh,  my heart is aching.
We're  coming to the edge,
running  on the water,
coming  through the fog,
your  sons and daughters.
We  the great and  small
stand  on a star
 and blaze  a trail  of desire
 through the  dark'ning  dawn.
 It's asking  for the taking.
Come  run with me now,
the  sky is the color of blue
 you've never even seen
 in the eyes of your...
Oh,  my heart is aching.
We're  coming to the edge,
running  on the water,
coming  through the fog,
your  sons and daughters.
It's  asking for the  taking.
Trembling,  shaking.
Oh,  my heart is aching.
We're  coming to the edge,
running  on the water,
coming  through the fog,
 your sons and daughters.
Let  the river run,
let  all the dreamers
wake  the  nation.
Come,  the New Jerusalem.
