The river is wide (video)

E ~ ~ + A ~

A

1. The sky was clear on that windy day

A

till the clear blue sky began to turn to grey.

D

The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above,

E

then fell a drop of rain to start our love.

Dm G

Let the river get wide, the river gets long now,

C Am

the water runs deep as our love gets strong now,

Dm G Em - A

so baby, don’t you fight and say you belong now to m……..e.

A

2. Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain,

A

with the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came.

D

As it hit each drop, our hearts could feel the pain,

E

no one on earth can stop a drop of rain !

Dm G

Let the river get wide, the river gets long now,

C Am

the water runs deep as our love gets strong now,

Dm G Em - A

so baby, don’t you fight and say you belong now to m…….e.
