[Pre-Chorus]
[Am] Even though I know the [G] river is wide,
I walk [FMAJ7] down every evening and [Em] stand on the shore

Something I would never [F] lose, (never lose)
something somebody [G] stole (something somebody stole)

[Am] I don't know why I go [G] walking at night,
but now I'm [FMAJ7] tired and I don't want to [Em] walk anymore

until I [D] find what it is that I've been [G] looking for

[C] something so undefined (so undefined)
That it can only be [F] seen, (only be seen)
by the eyes of the [G] blind;

[Am] I'm not sure about a [G] life after this,
God [FMAJ7] knows I've never been a [Em] spiritual man
[Am] Baptized by the [G] fire, I wade into the [D] river,
that is running to the [G] promised land

We all end in the [C] ocean; (end in the ocean)
[C] we all start in the streams (we start in the streams)
We're all carried [F] along, (carried along)
by the river of [G] dreams,
in the middle of the [C] night
