Intro
C Fmaj7 G D
D C G D
A G
Rain came down twelve-oh-one
Em
New Year's Eve in old London
A G D
I could only stand there weeping on the mighty Thames
A G
Alone and in love and fully alive
Em
The first time in a lifetime
A G D
And all those people just floating on the water like a midnight gem
C Fmaj7
Will you go with me, bittersweetly,
G D
Skipping like a stone?
D C
The great rivers, all the great rivers,
G D
I've already walked along alone
A G
It's an upstream journey to you
Em
Despite the sleight of hand that the cold winds blew
A G D
The false direction laid atop the current underneath
A G
But I can forgive nearly anything
Em
That ends on autumn's tracks to spring
A G D
Followed you in dreams out to that Mississippi beach
C Fmaj7
Will you go with me, bittersweetly,
G D
Skipping like a stone?
D C
The great rivers, all the great rivers,
G D
I've already walked along alone
A G
It's not that you should stay the night
Em
It's just that you belong.
A G
It's not that I'm trying to make things right
D
I'm just so tired of being wrong.
C Fmaj7
Will you go with me, bittersweetly,
G D
Skipping like a stone?
D C
The great rivers, all the great rivers,
G D
I've already walked along alone
C Fmaj7 G D
D C
The great rivers, all the great rivers,
G D
I've already walked along alone
