A D A I laid down by the river’s edge A D A I laid down wondering where it led A D A I laid down by the river’s edge F#m D A And I woke up in a river bed A D A There were flowers in my hair
A D A River flowers floating everywhere A D A And all the fishes came and kissed my feet F#m D A Dear old fishes, they said to me C#m F#m They said oh, we could love you D A But we are not yet what you want C#m F#m Because oh, anyone could love you D A You’ve got to find where you belong A D A All my needles, they were gone so fast A D A Not a needle left on a branch A D A I grew weaker and the river strong F#m D A I said, hey fishes But the fish were gone A D A Now the boulders I know they heard me cry A D A But they were stone-faced and they stood aside A D A So I went on at the river’s pace F#m D A With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say C#m F#m They said oh, we could love you D A But we are not yet what you want C#m F#m Because oh, we would only crush you D A You’ve got to find where you belong C#m D How does it feel F#m To be so certain D Without question A Of your purpose F#m Your position D Of your place A Of your home? D Of your place E Of your home C#m C#m You cannot catch the river though D A It makes you think you can C#m C#m It trickles through your fingers D A While you hold it in your hands D Just like I am A Just like I am D Just like I am A Just like I am
