Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  rains have come early, they say,
We're  all going to wash away, well,
That's  all right with me..
If  Heaven's torrent can wash clean
The  arrogance that lies unseen,
And  the damage done, since we have gone,
 Where we  ought not to be...
Goodbye  to a river
  Goodbye  to a river
 So long
 Verse 2 is the same as the first verse, then comes the chorus again.
 Play the intro chords twice.
I  make a church out of words
As  the years dull my senses
And  I try to hold on to the world that I  knew..
And  I struggle to cross
These  generational fences
And  the beauty that still remains - I can touch  it through you..
 Repeat the chorus twice and then fade out.
 That's it! Quite a simple, and yet a powerful song.
