[N] [C]
I crossed on the river, there'll be no returning
[F] I crossed all the bridges, I watched them all burning
[Am] And now I'm a stranger to [G] a strange land I'm driven
[F] Where all is forgotten [G] and [C] nothing's [G] forgiven
[F]
But I cried, [C] hands deeper than water's swimming in
[F] The heartache with [C] the sorrow will deal
But I cried a river, [G]
a river [C] for him
I think of him now on the road I'm taking
[F] And wonder how long his heart will be brave
[Am] But he'll never hear when [G] the teardrops are falling
Or [F] the sound of my voice or [G] the name I'm calling
[F]
But I cried a river, a river [C] that's deeper than water
That I am dressed with in
[F] The heartache with [C] the sorrow will deal
But I cried a river, [G] a river [C] for him
So [Bb]
[C]
[Bb]
[C]
weep for the sons and the dear darling daughters
For [F] the passing of time and the parting of waters
[G] [Am] For all who have passed through [G] this world long before me
To [F] a far distant shoreline [G] where no one waits for me
[F] But I cried a river, [C] a river that's deeper than water
That I am dressed with in
[F] The heartache with the sorrow
[C] will deal
But I cried a river, a river for him
I crossed on the river, there'll be no returning
[F] I crossed all the bridges, I watched them all burning
[Am] And now I'm a stranger to [G] a strange land I'm driven
[F] Where all is forgotten [G] and [C] nothing's [G] forgiven
[F]
But I cried, [C] hands deeper than water's swimming in
