Cheryl Wheeler - The Rivers
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G D G C G D G
D G C
In the afternoon light, riding around
G D
Riding my bike all over town
G D C
They said on TV, that out west right now
G D G
The rivers can poison us
D G C
And it was hard to believe, watching it win
G D
Kept coming down and kept coming in
G D Em
And finally reached where our great cities stand
C D G
Now the rivers can poison us
Am D
And once more we find out, in case we forgot
G Em
Just who is strong here and just who is not
Am D
As if we could hand her some route that we'd plot
G D G
And now the rivers can poison us
D G C
It lifted the trash, it lifted the gold
G D
And lifted the lives too weak to hold
G D C
All swept into some diluvian fold
G D G
The rivers can poison us
D G C
And it's like all that we've done, has seeped from the sea
G D
It's been, take what you want and leave what you leave
G D Em
We sure have been pigs since Adam and Eve
C D G
Now the rivers can poison us
Am D
And I love the thought of us all being one
