This weary earth we walk upon
She will aid you when we [A] are gone
While [G] kingdoms come and [D] kingdoms go
Rivers run and rivers flow
You know I don't believe it's true
That in this world there's [A] nothing new
For [G] darling you [D] have just begun
Rivers flow and rivers run
[Bm] And if [D] the river [A] should ever [G] run dry
_ [D] Somewhere the rain will [F#m] still fall
[G] _
Will [F#m] still fall [G] _
from [D] the sky _
When I'm beguiled by the fear
The darker days are [A] drawing near
My [Bm] darling you [D] seduce the sun
Rivers flow and rivers _ run _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] And [D] if the river [A] should ever [D] run dry
_ [Bm] Somewhere [D] the rain will [F#m] still fall
[G] _
Will [F#m] still [G] fall _ [A] from the sky _
This wounded earth we walk upon
She will aid you when we are gone
But [Bm] still I pray that [D] you may know
How rivers run and rivers flow
_ And if the river [A] should ever [G] run dry
_ [D] Somewhere the rain will [F#m] still fall
[G] _
Will [F#m] still fall [G] _
from [A] the sky
I _ [D] cross my heart and I hope to live
Just long enough that I can give it all to you
My darling one
[B] Rivers flow and rivers run
[D] My darling one
