Rivers Lyrics

Chords for Rivers by Frank Turner, tidying up some mistakes I found in others...
Intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*2)
Verse 1:
Our history runs down our rivers
Down our rivers to the sea
Reminds us of the things that matter
Home and heart and history
And all our sins will be forgiven
Washed away to set us free
By the rivers that run through our homesteads
By myth and modal melody
Chorus:
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand estuaries
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home
Play intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*1)
Verse 2:
I travelled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the Cotswolds and the Fells
And left a tapestry called England
Of life and those who lived it well
Play intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*4)
Verse 3:
Around here the sky's a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place I'd lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand estuaries
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
So place your trust in to the sea
It's kept us safe for centuries
It shapes our shore and steadily
It's care has brought us calm
And when I die I hope to be
Buried out in English seas
So all that then remains of me
Will lap against these shores
'Til England is no more
Play intro:
E D/C# G/A E (*1)
Hope you enjoy :-)
