[Intro]
Em   Cmaj7   Dsus2   Esus4x4
[Verse]
EmNature, Cmaj7nurture, Dsus2heaven and Esus4home
EmSum of Cmaj7all and Dsus2by them Esus4driven
To Emconquer Cmaj7every Dsus2mountain Esus4shown
But Cmaj7I’ve never Dsus2crossed the Emriver
EmBrave the Cmaj7forest, Dsus2brave the Esus4stone
EmBrave the Cmaj7icy wDsus2inds and fEsus4ire
EmBraved and Cmaj7beat them Dsus2on my Esus4own
Yet I’m Cmaj7helpless Dsus2by the Emriver
EmAngel, Cmaj7angel, Dsus2what have I Esus4done?
I Emfaced the Cmaj7quakes, the Dsus2wind, the Esus4fire
I’ve Emconquered Cmaj7country, Dsus2crown and Esus4throne
Why Cmaj7can’t I Dsus2cross this Emriver?
EmAngel, Cmaj7angel, Dsus2what have I Esus4done?
I Emfaced the Cmaj7quakes, the Dsus2wind, the Esus4fire
I’ve Emconquered Cmaj7country, Dsus2crown, and Esus4throne
Why Cmaj7can’t I Dsus2cross this Emriver?
EmPay no Cmaj7mind to the Dsus2battles you’ve Esus4won
It’ll Emtake a lot Cmaj7more than Dsus2rage and Esus4muscle
EmOpen your Cmaj7heart and Dsus2hands my Esus4son
Or you’ll Cmaj7never make it Dsus2o'er the Emriver
It’ll Emtake a lot Cmaj7more than Dsus2words and Esus4guns
A Emwhole lot Cmaj7more than Dsus2riches and Esus4muscle
The Emhands of the Cmaj7many must Dsus2join as Esus4one
And toCmaj7gether we’ll Dsus2cross the Emriver
It’ll Emtake a lot Cmaj7more than Dsus2words and Esus4guns
A Emwhole lot Cmaj7more than Dsus2riches and Esus4muscle
The Emhands of the Cmaj7many must Dsus2join as Esus4one
And toCmaj7gether we’ll Dsus2cross the Emriver
N.C.
(This part is sung simultaneously with the un-parenthesised part)
(EmNature, Cmaj7nurture, Dsus2heaven and Esus4home)
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
(EmSum of Cmaj7all and Dsus2by them Esus4driven)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(To Emconquer Cmaj7every Dsus2mountain sEsus4hown)
The hands of the many must join as one
And toCmaj7gether we’ll Dsus2cross the Emriver
(EmBrave the Cmaj7forest, Dsus2brave the Esus4stone)
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
(EmBrave the Cmaj7icy Dsus2winds and Esus4fire)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(EmBraved and Cmaj7beat them Dsus2on my Esus4own)
The hands of the many must join as one
And toCmaj7gether we’ll Dsus2cross the Emriver
And Cmaj7together we'll Dsus2cross the Esus4river
And together we’ll cross the river
(Cmaj7Nature, Dsus2nurture, Esus4heaven and home)
And together we’ll cross the river
(And toCmaj7gether we'll Dsus2cross the Esus4river)
Nature, nurture, heaven and home
And toCmaj7gether we'll Dsus2cross the Emriver
(And together we’ll cross the river)
