Across The River

D F Am7 D D Well, she moved back around here F Am7 D Thirty-five weeks ago today Oh, down the lane D Well, at night she walks on the banks F Am7 D And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away And how she left one day Am7 She left with a driven look in her eyes G D Came back around with it still inside Am7 They said give it some time And you'll forget about it too G D We know they always do D Bm Well, I know some fine day C Am7 G You will find your way D Across the river, across the river D Bm Row down slow C Am7 G There's a long way to go D Across the river, across the river D She was proud and so strong F Am7 D But she tried not to listen to idle talk Downtown where she walked D Well, they sit around and they say F Am7 D That she came back with her tail between her legs Like they always said she would Am7 Well, I hear it's better on the other side G D They say you'll never do it so don't even try Am7 Well, you may be beaten down with your closed mind G D But don't try to make it mine D Bm Well, I know some fine day C Am7 G You will find your way D Across the river, across the river D Bm Row down slow C Am7 G There's a long way to go D Across the river, across the river Bb F "Your wild days are through" G Is what they said Bb F G I dreamed she came, then I went down And I walked where she led | D | Bm | C Am7| G | | D | D | D | D | | D | Bm | C Am7| G | | D | D | D | D | Repeat Intro D F Am7 D D Standing on the shore F Am7 D She looks to the west with a look of longing To where the grass seems greener Pre-chorus 3 Am7 Well, there's a hard and distant prize G D It probably won't happen but I think I'll try Am7 Well, even if it doesn't happen for me G D It still beats hanging around here D Bm Well, I know some fine day C Am7 G You will find your way D Across the river, across the river D Bm Row down slow C Am7 G There's a long long way to go D Across the river, across the river
