Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor) Out (C major) side my
(E minor) door when I (A minor) was young
There flowed (F major) a shining river (G major)
Gleaming (C major) in (E minor) the (A minor) sum mer sun
It used (F major) to shine like sil (G major) ver
And the banks (C major) were lined (G major) with (A minor) willow trees
and (D minor) tall green waving rushes (G major)
Song (C major) birds sang (G major) in the (A minor) summer breeze
and (D minor) nested in the bushes (G major)
Don't you think (C major) it's time
we got (A minor) togeth (D minor) er
to (D major) sing (G major) our shining river (C major)
It will soon be gone forever (D minor)
Ah, (D major) (G major) don't you think it's (C major) time,
time, (A minor) time
Time, (C major) time, time (A minor)
The (C major) willow trees (E minor) have long (A minor) since gone
The (F major) birds are getting fewer
(D minor) (G major) And where (C major) my (E minor) river
used (A minor) to run
There's (F major) just an open sewer (G major)
And the banks (C major) are (G major) lined with (A minor) factories
Grey (D minor) towers of bricks and mor (G major) tar
There's (C major) smog and (G major) dust
in the (A minor) summer breeze
And (D minor) poison in the wa (G major) ter
Don't you think (C major) it's time
we got togeth (D minor) er
To save (G major) our shining river (C major)
It will soon be gone forever (D minor)
Oh, (G major) don't you think it's (C major) time,
time, time (A minor)
Time, (C major) time, (A minor) time
And (C major) where the (E minor) silver gum (A minor) did stand,
Where bloomed (F major) the yellow wattle, (G major)
(C major) Now there's (E minor) only old (A minor) tin cans
And (F major) piles of broken (A minor) bottle. (G major)
And the banks (C major) are lined (G major) with mud (A minor) and silt,
The (D minor) rivers thick with slime. (G major)
And you ask (C major) me who must (G major) bear (A minor) the guilt
When the fault (D minor) is yours and (G major) mine
Don't you think (C major) it's time
we got together (D minor)
To (G major) save our shining river (C major)
It (G major) will soon (C major) be gone forever (D minor)
Oh, (G major) don't you think it's (C major) time,
time, time (A minor)
(C major) Time, (G major) time, time, (A minor) time
