 The life  in us is like the water  in a river
 It may rise  this year, it may rise higher
 Than man has ever known
 It may come  to pass that immortal  flowing river
 May rise  so high, flood the mountainside
 To the valleys down below
 (Chorus 1)
 The land  where we dwell has not always  been dry I see
 Far inland  banks that were washed  by the ancient stream
 (Solo - not tabbed)
 The sun  up above shines its fury  on the prairie
 You can't hide  from it, you can try  it
 But you'll never get away
 And they sow  the fields but the clouds  have all forsaken
 And they've taken  all, no more water  fall
 'Til the earth has turned to clay
 (Chord pattern repeats, same as above)
 (Chorus 2)
 Long after we're gone still the earth will turn round and round
 and all we've created will crumble into the ground
 I see it all from where I'm standing on the mountain
 Hear the valleys' cry, still some question why and they cannot see the way
 We're digging graves every day they're getting deeper, for the birds that fly
 through the darkened sky, will there be another day?
 (Chorus 1)
 The life in us is like the water in a river
 It may rise this year, it may rise higher
 Than man has ever known

The [Em7]life in us is like the [C2]water in a river
It may [G]rise this year, it may rise [Dsus4]higher
Than man has ever known
It may [Em7]come to pass that im[C2]mortal flowing river
May [G]rise so high, flood the [Dsus4]mountainside
To the valleys down below

[Em7]  [C2]  [G]  [Dsus4]

(Chorus 1)
The [Bm]land where we dwell has not [C]always been dry I [G]see    [Dsus4]
Far [Em7]inland banks that were [C2]washed by the ancient [C2]stream  [Gsus4]

(Solo - not tabbed)

The [Em7]sun up above shines its [C2]fury on the prairie
You can't [G]hide from it, you can [Dsus4]try it
But you'll never get away
And they [Em7]sow the fields but the [C2]clouds have all forsaken
And they've [G]taken all, no more [Dsus4]water fall
'Til the earth has turned to clay

[Em7]  [C2]  [G]  [Dsus4]

(Chord pattern repeats, same as above)

(Chorus 2)

Long after we're gone still the earth will turn round and round
and all we've created will crumble into the ground

I see it all from where I'm standing on the mountain
Hear the valleys' cry, still some question why and they cannot see the way
We're digging graves every day they're getting deeper, for the birds that fly
through the darkened sky, will there be another day?

(Chorus 1)

The life in us is like the water in a river
It may rise this year, it may rise higher
Than man has ever known
