Intro: Em D Em (x2)
Into [Em]harbour we sailed on the incoming tide
Our [G]fishing nets full of sar[B]dine
One [Em]town to the [D]starboard, and one to the [Em]port
And a river [D]runs be[Em]tween
On the [Em]quayside she stood with her basket in hand
Such [G]beauty I've never sinc[B]e seen
And [Em]she on the [D]west bank, and me on the [Em]east
And a river [D]runs be[Em]tween
[G]And as we haul away, [D]I'm still in yesterday
[Em]Everything's changed with th[G]e turn of th[D]e tide
[G]I paid the ferryman, [D]anchors aweigh again
[Em]My love for her I did [G]never con[D]fide
Because a [Em]river [D]runs be[Em]tween
Instrumental: (verse chords)
[Em]The bridge builders came with their concrete and stone
Re[G]sistance they hadn't fo[B]reseen
One [Em]town has the [D]money, the other the [Em]sun
And a river [D]runs be[Em]tween
[G]And as we haul away, [D]I'm still in yesterday
[Em]Everything's changed with th[G]e turn of th[D]e tide
[G]I paid the ferryman, [D]anchors aweigh again
[Em]My love for her I did [G]never con[D]fide
[G]And as we haul away, [D]I'm still in yesterday
[Em]Everything's changed with th[G]e turn of th[D]e tide
[G]She's way above me, m[D]y bride she will never be
A [Em]bridge doesn't change things tha[G]t happen t[D]o us
And a [Em]river [D]runs be[Em]tween
So [Em]now there's a path from the east to the west
And a [G]pretty young maid of eigh[B]teen
But a [Em]lifetime of [D]conflict, the two towns di[Em]vide
And a river [D]runs be[Em]tween
And a river [D]runs be[Em]tween
Into [Em]harbour we sailed on the incoming tide
