[Verse 1]
    A
Oh for you to be
            A
With your blood kin and me
         A
As the floors creak beneath
     A          E
An embrace unforeseen
           Dm
On these stairs,
 Am         E
On my own time.

[Chorus]

By River River Rhine
      B     B     E
The River River Rhine
      B     B     B     E
The River River River Rhine

[Verse 2]
    A
Oh for you to see
          A
All the things that I've seen
          A
Feel the fire, fallen trees
          A         E
Hear the belltower sing
             Dm
From these stairs
  Am          E
Drinking our wine.

[Chorus]
     B     B    E
By River River Rhine
      B    B      E
The River River Rhine

The River River River Rhine

C#m
Dark and cold

The nights we stole
    Bm
As we'd escape from
 C#m
Walls of wood

And walls of stone
     Bm           D
To recreate the sound
D                     E
On the night I loved you.

Oh for you to be
