The River
Garth BrooksVon dem Album "Robin' the wind" 1991
Verse 1:
D G D
You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
G D/F# Em A
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes
D
Trying to learn from what's behind him
Bm G
And never knowing what's in store
D
Makes each day a constant battle
A D
Just to stay between the shores
Refrain:
D G D
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
G D/F# Em A
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
D G
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
D A D
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Verse 2:
D G D
Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away
G D/F# Em A
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today
D Bm G
So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied
D A D
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.
Refrain:
D G D
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
G D/F# Em A
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
D G
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
D A D
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
