Chords for Rivers by Frank Turner, tidying up some mistakes I found in others...
Intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*2)
Verse 1:
Our Ehistory runs down our Drivers
DDown our rivers C#to the Esea
EReminds us of the Dthings that matter
DHome and heart and C#histoEry
And Eall our sins will Dbe forgiven
DWashed away to C#set us Efree
By the Erivers that run Dthrough our homesteads
By Dmyth and modal C#meloEdy
Chorus:
F#I traced these rivers from the Acities to the seas
To Eremind me of what I already Bknow
F#I traced the shorelines through a Athousand estuaries
To rEemind me an island is my Bhome
An island is my Ehome
Play intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*1)
Verse 2:
I travelled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the Cotswolds and the Fells
And left a tapestry called England
Of life and those who lived it well
Chorus
Play intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*4)
Verse 3:
Around here the sky's a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place I'd lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside
Chorus
F#I traced these rivers from the Acities to the seas
To Eremind me of what I already Bknow
F#I traced the shorelines through a Athousand estuaries
To rEemind me an island is my Bhome
An island is my F#home
F#Hmm hmm hmm Ahmm
So Eplace your trust in Bto the sea
It's Akept us safe for Bcenturies
It Eshapes our shore and Bsteadily
It's Acare has brought us Bcalm
And Ewhen I die I Bhope to be
ABuried out in BEnglish seas
So Eall that then reBmains of me
Will Alap against these Bshores
'Til England is no Emore
