C#m  G#m  C#m  G#m  C#m  A  F#m7  B

[Chorus]
    A       G#m  F#m
Oh, I stood watching
B   A       E   A
Oh, I stood waiting
           B         A                        D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
        C#m          A    E      B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand

[Instrumental]
C#m  G#m  C#m  G#m  C#m

[Verse]
                        G#m       C#m
Well, I listened to the shouting
                    G#m   C#m
Of those with their lies
                G#m    C#m
Who tore at the heart
                   G#m   C#m
Of this country of mine

[Verse]
    E              A          E
But here's where a quiet man
                  A     E
With truth in his hand
           C#m          A             B
Can make a stand and be heard in this land

[Chorus]
   A       G#m  F#m
So I stood watching
B   A       E   A
Oh, I stood waiting
           B         A                        D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
        C#m          A    E      B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand

[Instrumental]
C#m  G#m  C#m  G#m  C#m

[Verse]
                  G#m         C#m
So I stood by the watch road
                G#m             C#m
Till the October of their days
         G#m               C#m
With the winds to my left
         G#m               C#m  G#m
And then far from the right and blowing my way

[Verse]
    E          A     E
But now is the hour
               A
The time I can see
           E            C#m            A          B
When we'll win with the truth that has made us so free

[Chorus]
   A       G#m  F#m
So I stood watching
B   A       E   A
Oh, I stood waiting
           B         A                        D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
        C#m          A    E      B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand

[Chorus]
    A       G#m  F#m
Oh, I stood watching
B   A       E   A
Oh, I stood waiting
