A River Runs Between

Em D Em (2x) Em Into harbour we sailed on the incoming tide G B Our fishing nets full of sardine Em D Em One town to the starboard, and one to the port D Em And a river runs between Em On the quayside she stood with her basket in hand G B Such beauty I’ve never since seen Em D Em And she on the west bank, and me on the east D Em And a river runs between G D And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday Em G D Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide G D I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again Em G D My love for her I did never confide Em D Em Because a river runs between (verse chords) Em The bridge builders came with their Caradon stone G B Resistance they hadn’t foreseen Em D Em One town has the money, the other the sun D Em And a river runs between G D And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday Em G D Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide G D I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again Em G D My love for her I did never confide G D And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday Em G D Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide G D She’s way above me, my bride she will never be Em G D A bridge doesn’t change things, the gap is too wide Em D Em And a river runs between Em So now there’s a path from the east to the west G B And a pretty young maid of eighteen Em D Em But a lifetime of conflict, the two towns divide D Em And a river runs between D Em And a river runs between
