Cheryl Wheeler - The rivers

In the afternoon ^Dlight, ^Griding a^Cround Riding my bike ^Gall over ^Dtown They ^Gsaid on T^DV, that ^Cout west right now The ^Grivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

And it was hard to be^Dlieve, ^Gwatching it ^Cwin Kept coming down and ^Gkept coming ^Din And ^Gfinally ^Dreached where our ^Emgreat cities stand Now the ^Crivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

And ^Amonce more we find out, in ^Dcase we forgot ^GJust who is strong here and ^Emjust who is not As ^Amif we could hand her some ^Droute that we'd plot And now the ^Grivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

It lifted the ^Dtrash, it ^Glifted the ^Cgold And lifted the lives ^Gtoo weak to ^Dhold ^GAll swept in^Dto some di^Cluvian fold The ^Grivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

And it's like all that we've ^Ddone, has ^Gseeped from the ^Csea It's been, take what you want and ^Gleave what you ^Dleave We ^Gsure have been ^Dpigs since ^EmAdam and Eve Now the ^Crivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

And ^AmI love the thought of us ^Dall being one But ^Gkids in the third grade pack ^Emneedles and guns And ^Amnow we might die if we ^Dlie in the sun And the ^Grivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

Salt of the ^Dearth, ^Gebb and the ^Cflow All that we have and ^Gmore than we ^Dknow ^GLaden with ^Dgarbage from ^Cdecades ago The ^Grivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus

Well, maybe one ^Dday the ^Ggreat salty ^Cblue Will swallow us up with ^Gall that we ^Dknew And ^Gthings will start ^Dover like ^Emthey always do When the ^Crivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus ^{D Em} The ^Crivers can ^Dpoison ^Gus
