CAPO 3RD
I appreciate these chords are probably mislabled especially D/Gsus, I don t
actually know what the proper chord names are, but the tab below gives the
correct chords corresponding to those that I ve scribed. It also shows where
hammers are used. I ve not tabbed the solo parts - for this, strumming
pattern and extra hammers check out the vid on youtube.

The life in us is like the water in a river
It may rise this year, it may rise higher
Than man has ever known
It may come to pass that immortal flowing river
May rise so high, flood the mountainside
To the valleys down below
(Chorus 1)
The land where we dwell has not always been dry I see
(lightly)
Far inland banks that were washed by the ancient stream
(Solo - not tabbed)
The sun up above shines its fury on the prairie
You can t hide from it, you can try it
But you ll never get away
And they sow the fields but the clouds have all forsaken
And they ve taken all, no more water fall
Til the earth has turned to clay
(Chord pattern repeats, same as above)
(Chorus 2)
Long after we re gone still the earth will turn round and round
and all we ve created will crumble into the ground
I see it all from where I m standing on the mountain
Hear the valleys cry, still some question why and they cannot see the way
We re digging graves every day they re getting deeper, for the birds that fly
through the darkened sky, will there be another day?
(Chorus 1)
The life in us is like the water in a river
It may rise this year, it may rise higher
Than man has ever known
