[Intro]
G D/F# Em C  x2


[Verse 1]
G         D/F#   Em         C
  Sailors on the sea are we heading
G       D/F#    Em          C
  clear for the edge of the ocean?
G            D/F#
  There's no city that
Em        C          G    D/F# Em C
keeps you king for a gypsy


[Verse 2]
G            D/F#
  And are we guided
Em      C
by some vision?
G         D/F#
  All our moves adding
Em       C       G
up to an ancient arc
       D/F#        Em
We are free of the canyon
C        G       D/F# Em C
cliff of my heart
 

[Chorus 1]
Am               C
  The river flows it takes
     G         Em D    Am
ahold and it's running through
              C
And you ain't changing on
     G         Em     D   Am
your own oh we change for you
               C          G    D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
The river flows it always flows


[Verse 3]
G              D/F#     Em     C
  And he walks home in another city
G              D/F#       Em      C
  Your mind's stuck in an ancient war
G             D/F#         Em
  And all you need is the space
        C         G       D/F# Em
for the beauty to take you
             G       D/F# Em C
And she will take you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am               C
  The river flows it takes
     G         Em D    Am
ahold and it's running through
              C
And you ain't changing on
     G         Em     D   Am
your own oh we change for you
               C          Am   G Em
The river flows it always flows
D             Am G Em
Flows through you
D             G  D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
Flows through you
 

[Chorus 3]
Am               C
  The river flows it takes
     G         Em D    Am
ahold and it's running through
              C
And you ain't changing on
     G         Em     D   Am
your own oh we change for you
               C          G    D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
The river flows it always flows


[Outro]
               G               D/F# Em
And we're just sailors on the sea
C               G              D/F# Em
Yeah we're just sailors on the sea
C               G              D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C G            
Yeah we're just sailors on the sea
