Neil uses the dropped tuning for the
 track on the 'Freedom'
album. There are also live versions,
 where he plays the song in
standard tuning except for the top E
 string tuned down to B.
He plays the same chord shapes as 
above, and performs it a tone
higher than the record, in the key 
of E.
Live version dropped tuning:  
E-A-D-G-B-B

[Verse 1]
E                      Aadd9
Though the river flows gently to the
 sea,
D6            Aadd9   E
He was on the shore,  rooted like a 
tree,
E                        Aadd9
She was here, and there, riding on 
the waves,
D6                 Aadd9         
Through it all she heard his 
      E
call, and gave it all she gave

[Verse 2]
    E                Aadd9
And when the melody, through the 
window called,
   D6            Aadd9        
It echoed in the courtyard, and 
  E
whispered in the halls,
   E                               
He played it through the night, she
 Aadd9
 knew he had to go,
          D6              Aadd9   
There was something about freedom 
   E
he thought he didn't know
