Intro:

C F C F


     C
What I love most about rivers is:
    F                      Cadd9/G
You can't step in the same river twice
    F/A            G/B              C
The water's always changing, always flowing
    Fmaj7
But people, I guess, can't live like that
   Am
We all must pay a price
      Dm7                              Dm7/G   G  
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
Em                         F
What's around the riverbend
        F/G             Em/G     F/G    Em/G    F/G    G   
Waiting just around the riverbend


  G/F  C/E  F  
I look once more
C
Just around the riverbend
  G/F  C/E  F  
Beyond the shore
C
Where the gulls fly free
      Am
Don't know what for
D9sys            D9  
What I dream the day might send
F/G             F/G     G
Just around the riverbend
    A D
For me
           A D
Coming for me


  C
I feel it there beyond those trees
   F                  Gsus4
Or right behind these waterfalls
    F/A           G/B              C       G/C    C   
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
      Fmaj7
For a handsome sturdy husband
           G/A             Am  
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
    Dm7               F                  F/G    G    F/G    G   
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Em                       F
Just around the riverbend
F/G   Em/G           F/G    G    F/G    G   
Just around the riverbend


  G/F  C/E  F  
I look once more
C
Just around the riverbend
  G/F  C/E  F   
Beyond the shore
C
Somewhere past the sea
      Am
Don't know what for ...
D9sus         D9  
Why do all my dreams extend
F/G                      F/G
Just around the riverbend?
Dm/G                     x
Just around the riverbend ...


Fadd9
Should I choose the smoothest curve
C/E                   Fadd9    F  
Steady as the beating drum?
F/A                G/B
Should I marry Kocoum?
   C                     Fadd9   F  
Is all my dreaming at an end?
   F            G/A         Am     G/A   Am  
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Dm7             G7sus4
Just around the river 
C F
bend?
