[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C CIt don't ever rain here
C CThe sun just always shines
C CDid I wander here one morning
GmOr was I left behind?
[Verse 2]
C CThe mist comes every dawnin'
C CThe heat comes every noon
C CThe dew comes every evening
GmBut honey, where are you?
C CHoney, where are you?
[Verse 3]
C CI'm a blind man on the river
C CRowing with the tide
C CMy skin's cold and my bones shiver
GmI need you by my side
C CI need you by my side
[Verse 4]
C CThe current never falters
C CThe river never bends
C CI sleep here at your altar
GmAnd wait for my compense
[Verse 5]
C CI'm younger, now I'm older
C CThan I was when I come here
C CEach day I wake up in the darkness
GmReady my boat and repeat my prayer
C CMy boat and repeat my prayer
[Verse 6]
C CI saw a shadow six days running
C CIn the shape of a man
C CIt's just the shifting branches of the willow
GmAs the wind crosses the bottom land
[Verse 7]
C CYour eyes, they can play tricks on you
C COut of the water, the moon appears
C CIn the river's deep reflection
GmI see your face, my dear
C CI see your face, my dear
C CI'm a blind man on the river
Gm CRowing with the tide
[Verse 8]
C CI tie my boat up in the evening
C CTo the branches of a birch tree
C CI woke to a shining angel above me
GmHer wings rustlin' in the eaves
[Verse 9]
C CHer voice had fell inside me
C CLike the night upon my cheek
C CThe distant plains of Jordan
Gm CLie lit beneath the pale moon's peak
[Verse 10]
C CI listen for the whippoorwill singing
C CIt's just silence all night through
C CJust the sound of my oars in the water
GmHoney, where are you?
C CI'm a blind man on the river
C CRowing with the tide
[Outro]
