[VERSE I]



Gm                             Gm    F/A

I remember being richer than a king



Bb                                 Bb  F/A

The minutes of the day were golden



Gm                                   Gm    F/A

I recall that when the joint passed 'round



   Bb

My body felt a little colder



[10th fret]

Bb      F/Eb    Bb   F/Eb 

Now I'm like a sewer channel

[CHORUS I]



    G

The sea refuses no river



Em                 D       C         G        C/G   G

And right now this river's banks are blown



    C/G  

The sea refuses no river, Whether stinking and rank



   Gmaj7                      Am

Or red from the tank, whether pure as a spring



        C                        D

There's no damn thing stops this poem



    Am                    F/C 

The sea refuses no river



                           C(no 3rd) 

And this river is homeward flowing



[repeat INTRO pattern]



I have seen a trace of strain, in others eyes not spoken.

I must admit that I enjoyed their pain, but this time it's me that's broken.

I demand for you and his, thus must be the time, when we decide what freedom

is, 

turn water into wine.



        G

For the sea refuses no river

Em                      D      C            G      C/G

we're polluted now, but in our hearts still clean,

C/G                      

The sea refuses no river

C/G                      Gmaj7

We tried not to age, but time had its rage, 

Am                             C                        D

We're washed over stones, from babes into clones of the mean,

Am                             F/C 

The sea refuses no river,

                           C5       C6

Won't deny this sulphorous stream.

There was a fool in a dressing robe, riding out the twilight hour,

Am                                          G        C                   

Lonely and cold in an empty home, trying to assess his power,

C       G/F         C         G/F    C       G/F    C     G/F

But now he's like a stream in flood, swollen by the storm.

Or strung on some pill, just cuz you own the land, 

        C                             D

there's no unique hand that plugs the damn.
