[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Bm Em G C D
Outside my door when I was young there flowed a shining river
G Bm Em Am C D
Gleaming in the summer sun it used to shine like silver
G Bm Em Am D
And the banks were lined with willow trees and tall green waving rushes
G Bm Em Am D
And song birds sang in the summer breeze, and nested in the bushes
[Chorus]
D G Am
Don't you think it's time we got together
D G
To save our shining river?
Am
It will soon be gone forever
D G Em
Don't you think it's time, time, time?
G D Em
Time, time, time
[Verse 2]
G Bm Em C D
The willow trees have long since gone the birds are getting fewer
