C

[Verse]
           C
There’s a heart here cast in stone
               G
And there’s a past, dear, I must atone
               Am                Em
Oh there were moments I've thrust away
               F                G
Now there’s a keeper that I must pay

               C
So here’s the scythe now and here’s the soil
                G
And here’s the seed, dear, that I must toil
             Am             Em           F
To heal the orchard from the cold, dead earth

[Pre Chorus]
         Dm
Well I’m sorry, love, for all I have undone
        G
And I’m sorry, dear, for what I have become

[Chorus]
C
Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go

Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go
F                                                      
Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go

Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go
C
Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go
Em
Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go
Am                      G
Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go
F
Down

[Verse]
           C
Oh these weathered, old hands of mine
                 G
They have grown weary over time
             Am                   Em
This ageing heart now, it’s in the slow
                F                       G
But, dear, its beating still stands to grow

            C
And oh the years, dear, they’ll be harsh and long
             G
But I will go out and sing your songs
           Am               Em             F
Over the mountains, on the hills and the streams

[Pre Chorus]
       Dm
Oh I’m sorry, love, for all I cannot change
        G
For the moments passed, I’ll gladly take the blame

[Bridge]
F          C     Em    Am          G
Oh ohoo-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you got my heart wrapped up
     F            Am    G      C              Em  
You know, ohoo-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I loved you from the start
   F          Am   G     C                Em
So go ohoo-oh oooh oh-oh-oh light up the dark, my darling
F          C     Em    Dm         G
Go ohoo-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh find a better start, dear


C  F  C  F
