I Shall Cross This River

[Verse 1]

A                   E    D
   My love, she's chosen me
A            E         D
   For my candour of speech
A                       E     D
   She takes me to the river
A                   D
   Like a child at play

[Chorus]

 E        A         D
She sees not this bitter man
Continues after the ad
 E        A           D
But the promise of a lover
 E         A        D
When the darkness washes off
 E         A   D
She moves into my arms

[Verse 2]

A  E         D
So too, my folks
A                       D
   Support me through my restless 
whims

[Chorus]

  E       A          D
They see not this failure
 E         A           D
But the promise of a firstborn

[Bridge]

 A   E    D
When my darkness leaves
  A  E   D
When my fall's complete
          A E        D
I shall cross this river
 A   D
For them
