The Water

Johnny Flynn

									All that I	have is a	river,

	Am	E
The	river is always my	home.

	C	F	Am	F
Lord,	take me a	way - For I	just cannot	stay

	C	Dm	F
Or I'll	sink in my	skin and my	bones.

Please help me build a small boat, - One that'll ride on the flow.

Where the river runs deep - And the larger fish creep

I'm glad of what keeps me afloat

Now deeper the water I sail, - And faster the current I'm in.

That each night brings the stars - And the song in my heart

Is a tune for the Journeyman's tale.

	Now the land that I knew	is a dream

	Em	F
	And the light in the dis	tance grows faint.

	C	F	C	F
	So wide is my	river -	The horizon a	sliver -

	C	G	Am	F
	The artist has	run out of	paint.

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky -

And the big yellow sun leads me home.

I'm everywhere now - The way is a vow

To the wind of each breath by and by.
