Intro: Em D Em (x2)
Em
Into harbour we sailed on the incoming tide
GB
Our fishing nets full of sardine
EmDEm
One town to the starboard, and one to the port
DEm
And a river runs between
Em
On the quayside she stood with her basket in hand
GB
Such beauty I??ve never since seen
EmDEm
And she on the west bank, and me on the east
DEm
And a river runs between
GD
And as we haul away, I??m still in yesterday
EmGD
Everything??s changed with the turn of the tide
GD
I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again
EmGD
My love for her I did never confide
EmDEm
Because a river runs between
Instrumental: (verse chords)
Em
The bridge builders came with their concrete and stone
GB
Resistance they hadn??t foreseen
EmDEm
One town has the money, the other the sun
DEm
And a river runs between
GD
And as we haul away, I??m still in yesterday
EmGD
Everything??s changed with the turn of the tide
GD
I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again
EmGD
My love for her I did never confide
GD
And as we haul away, I??m still in yesterday
EmGD
Everything??s changed with the turn of the tide
GD
She??s way above me, my bride she will never be
EmGD
A bridge doesn??t change things that happen to us
EmDEm
And a river runs between
Em
So now there??s a path from the east to the west
GB
And a pretty young maid of eighteen
EmDEm
But a lifetime of conflict, the two towns divide
DEm
And a river runs between
DEm
And a river runs between
