Verse 1
E 
come  (E major) down to the
Em 
river and  (E minor) I watch as the sun goes down
A 
And I  (A major) feel the earth shiver
Em 
As the darkness  (E minor) comes circling round
And I swore I would not come here
And I know I should not stay
A 
Any thoughts  (A major) of heaven born I have
Em

She  (E major) appears  (E minor) by the water in
E

She knows without me speaking
A 
Em 
until I have her I can (A major) not rest  (E minor) 
A 
She  (A major) smiles as she comes to me
Em 
E 
And I lean  (E minor) down and I kiss her breast  (E major)

For once  (A major) you have had me,
Em 
you'll not be  (E minor) satisfied with the undead
We walk into the river,
oh I cannot see the shore
A 
And I am  (A major) baptized in dark water,
Em 
and I'm hers  (E minor) forevermore
