is a river [C] running through this town, _ [Dm]
it carries the [Em] _ [F] water. _
There [G] isn't any way [C] to slow it down [Dm]

I [G] was a baby [C] when the big bridge fell, [Dm] _
so I don't [Em] _ [F] remember.
_ [Am]
But [G] I have listened [C] to the stories well, [Dm] _
and so I [C] know.
They [Em] were falling _ _ to [C] the _ _ surface, _ they [Em] were calling _ _ to [C] their God.
[F] And their [G] cry was, [Am] Sweet Jesus, _ [C] _ please won't you catch us?
[G] Save us, [Am] Sweet Jesus, _ [C] _ please won't you hear [Am] us cry?
_ _ [G] _

_ _ _ [Am] _ Fishing [G] for luck beneath [C] the bridge that day, _ [Dm] a man [Em] in his _ _ [F] eighties.
[Am] He saw it [C] happen and began to pray [Dm] _ as he [F] dove in.
_ [Am] He found a [G] mother and a [C] baby boy, [Dm] _ they both [Em] wouldn't [F] make it.
[Am] The mama handed [C] him her only joy, [Dm] _ he took [C] the child.
Then he [Em] was swimming _ _ like he was [F] twenty, _ [Gm] _
[D] _ he [Em] made sure _ alive, then he [F] died.
And his thoughts [G] were, [Am] Sweet Jesus, _ [C]
please won't you catch us?
[G]
Save us, [Am] Sweet Jesus, [C] _
[F] please won't you [C] hear us [Am]
cry?

_ _ _ [Am] I [G] miss my mother [C] and the brave old man, [Dm] _ though I [D] never [F] knew them.
They are the soul [C] inside the man I _ _ [Dm] am.
I bear [C] their dreams and [Em] I am walking _ _ in their [F] footsteps. _ _
_ I [Em] am talking _ _ _ to [C] their God, [F] and my cry [G] is, Sweet [Am] Jesus, _ _ [F] please won't [C] you catch us?
[G] _
Save us, [Am] Sweet _ Jesus, [C]
please won't you hear us?
[G] _
_ Sweet [Am] _ Jesus, _ _
[F] please won't [C] you catch us?
[G] _
Save us, [Am] Sweet Jesus, _ [F] please won't [C] you hear us [Am]
cry?
_ _ [G] We're all crying, _ [Am] we're all crying.
