Intro

FFG/FFx 2

C

You know a Cdream is like a river

Ever F/Cchangin’ as it Cflows

And the Fdreamer’s just a C/Evessel

That must D7mfollow where it Ggoes

Trying to Clearn from wF/Chat’s behind Cyou

And never Amknowing what’s in Fstore

Makes each Cday a cF/Constant baCttle

Just to Gstay between the shores CF/C→ C

And I will Csail F/Cmy Cvessel ‘til the Friver runs Cdry

Like a Fbird upon the C/Ewind these Dm7waters are my Gsky

I’ll never Creach my F/CdestiCnation Fif I never F/Atry

So I will Csail F/Cmy Cvessel ‘til the Griver runs dryC

C

Too many Ctimes we stand aside

And let F/Cwaters slip aCway

‘Til what we Fput off ‘til toC/Emorrow

Has Dm7now become toGday

So don’t you Csit uponF/Cthe Cshoreline

And Amsay you’re satisFfied

CChoose to chance the rapids

And Gdare to dance the tideCF/C→ C

Yes I will Csail F/Cmy Cvessel ‘til the Friver runs Cdry

Like a Fbird upon the C/Ewind these Dm7waters are my Gsky

I’ll never Creach my F/CdestiCnation Fif I never F/Atry

So I will Csail F/Cmy Cvessel ‘til the Griver runs dryC

And I Cknow I’ll take G/Bsome fallsF

But with the Dm7good lord as my Ccaptain

I can Fmake it through them Gall
