Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

What are we gonna do, when you've stopped crying?

What ever you're going through it's not worth dying.

Chasing away the blues, I know you're trying.

And nobody wants to lose, I don't know why.

Chours

Cause I live by the river, live by the river and

I'll die by the river I'm sailing, away, today.

Verse 2

What are you gonna say when they stop laughing?

You're giving it all away when you've got nothing.

How many times a day you feel like walking?

Taking a holiday from all the shy-y-y...

Chours

But I live by the river, live by the river and

I'll die by the river I'm sailing, away, today.

Cause I live by the river, live by the river and

I'll die by the river I'm sailing, away, today.

Verse 3

And you've got to grab the bull by the horns my friend

it's the only way to go.

And when the story's told we can go home.

So what are we gonna do, when you've stopped crying?

What ever you're going through it's not worth dying.

Keeping away the blues you know I'm trying.

What've we got to lose, and testify-y-y...

Chours

Cause I live by the river, live by the river and

I'll die by the river I'm sailing, away,

I'm sailing, away, I'm sailing, away, today.
