Through (A minor) mo ments paral (A major) lel
They were soon to (A minor) cross

They both did (E major) fall

Oh my, (E major) what a

(A minor) time won out
Someone (D minor) asked if he (F major) knew what

Say when it's (F major) over

And (Asus4) I watch the river (A major) flow (A minor) and
I know I must let (A major) go (A minor) but it's oh

(D minor) For the waves are (F major) all around
my small (E major) canoe
I had (D minor) always hoped (G major) this boat

oh (A minor) my (D minor) (E major)
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (D minor) (E major) (D minor)
