Intro: Em D Em (x2)
Em
Into harbour we sailed on the incoming tide
G B
Our fishing nets full of sardine
Em D Em
One town to the starboard, and one to the port
D Em
And a river runs between
Em
On the quayside she stood with her basket in hand
G B
Such beauty I’ve never since seen
Em D Em
And she on the west bank, and me on the east
D Em
And a river runs between
G D
And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday
Em G D
Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide
G D
I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again
Em G D
My love for her I did never confide
Em D Em
Because a river runs between
Instrumental: (verse chords)
Em
The bridge builders came with their Caradon stone
G B
Resistance they hadn’t foreseen
Em D Em
One town has the money, the other the sun
D Em
And a river runs between
G D
And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday
Em G D
Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide
G D
I paid the ferryman, anchors aweigh again
Em G D
My love for her I did never confide
G D
And as we haul away, I’m still in yesterday
Em G D
Everything’s changed with the turn of the tide
G D
She’s way above me, my bride she will never be
Em G D
A bridge doesn’t change things, the gap is too wide
Em D Em
And a river runs between
Em
So now there’s a path from the east to the west
G B
And a pretty young maid of eighteen
Em D Em
But a lifetime of conflict, the two towns divide
D Em
And a river runs between
D Em
And a river runs between
