Intro:  Em   D   Em(x2)
Into Emharbour we sailed on the incoming tide
Our Gfishing nets full of sarBdine
One Emtown to the Dstarboard, and one to the Emport
And a river Druns beEmtween
On the Emquayside she stood with her basket in hand
Such Gbeauty I’ve never since Bseen
And Emshe on the Dwest bank, and me on the Emeast
And a river Druns beEmtween
GAnd as we haul away, DI’m still in yesterday
EmEverything’s changed with the Gturn of the Dtide
GI paid the ferryman, Danchors aweigh again
EmMy love for her I did Gnever conDfide
Because a Emriver Druns beEmtween
Instrumental: (verse chords)
EmThe bridge builders came with their Caradon stone
ReGsistance they hadn’t foreBseen
One Emtown has the Dmoney, the other the Emsun
And a river Druns beEmtween
GAnd as we haul away, DI’m still in yesterday
EmEverything’s changed with the Gturn of the Dtide
GI paid the ferryman, Danchors aweigh again
EmMy love for her I did Gnever conDfide
GAnd as we haul away, DI’m still in yesterday
EmEverything’s changed with the Gturn of the Dtide
GShe’s way above me, my Dbride she will never be
A Embridge doesn’t change things, the Ggap is too Dwide
And a Emriver Druns beEmtween
So Emnow there’s a path from the east to the west
And a Gpretty young maid of eighBteen
But a Emlifetime of Dconflict, the two towns diEmvide
And a river Druns beEmtween
And a river Druns beEmtween

Em D Em

Intro: (x2)

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

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)

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

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
