River Waltz(Keyboard chords)

	        
C 
I'm going to find me a dying river  
and strike a deal with her I'll say,  

      F 
I'll fold you in two and I'll carry you away  
     C 
to a place where your headwaters will flow  
                      G 
clean through to your mouth.  
    C 
In return I'll request a small sanctuary 
       F 
by her banks where we will live  
with our small family  
         C 
she will water our garden  
                            G 
and clean the dirt from our skin. 
             F 
As the world clamours at our door  
        G                      C 
we will dance and not let them in. 

    C 
And if one day we wake up to a bed dry as a bone  
F 
find our river stolen find our sanctuary gone 
        C 
we will stand and take stock and be grateful  
                   G 
for what we've not lost. 
        C 
We will pack up our bags, pack our small family  
F 
head across the valley to where the aspen trees  
C 
shiver as they ascend -  
                          G 
the green hills rising to blue.  
       F                            G 
At the edge of the chopping we will turn  
             C 
and bid fond adieu. 

F                  C 
All that I know to true  
                     G 
is the touch of your hand on my skin.  
F                        C 
One look from you can so easily soothe  
         G 
all this turmoil within.  
      Dm 
As we dance cheek to cheek  
         Am 
with our feet so completely  
C                        G 
locked in a time all our own. 
Dm 
I stop to speak  
    Am 
but you gently keep me  
C                     G 
moving in time to the song. 
         F             C           G 
And in a voice that is sloppy with gin  
                       C 
you say, let the world spin. 


I'm going to find me a dying river

     F 
I'll fold you in two and I'll carry you away  
     C 
to a place where your headwaters will flow  
                      G
