River Of People

Lyrics and Chords

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

Sometimes I feel that I’m just wishing my life away

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

I wish that things could change with absolutely no delay

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

When lovers look as though they’re in Eden when they kiss

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

I believe it’s true what they say, “Ignorance is bliss”

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

I punish myself, though I’ve done no wrong

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

I believe this worry will take my health

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

And it won’t be long before the stars fall down

Bmin7

And I’ll fall along

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

All I want to do is flow with the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

In my dreams I go…to the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

Help me, help me to make my dreams come true

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

I could tell you how but I could not tell you why

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

I’ve been sold on fools’ gold, and bought on the things that money can’t buy

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

Believe that once I was in love with a pretty girl

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

But she never broke my heart, I broke my heart myself

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

I’ve waited so long, for the sun to shine

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

Thought that I’d just tag along, blue and blind

Amin7                                     Bmin7

Don’t tell me the truth because I don’t want to know

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

All I want to do is flow with the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

In my dreams I go…to the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

Help me, help me to make my dreams come true

E  C Amin C-Bmin7

Help me, help me

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

I’ve been to paradise and I don’t like what I’ve seen

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

The things I thought were so sweet were only saccharine

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

Life can be so cutting, life can be so cruel I believe that life has left me…

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7

Stepping on the monkey stool

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

I punish myself, though I’ve done no wrong

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

I believe this worry will take my health

Amin7      Bbmin7     Bmin7

And it won’t be long before the stars fall down

Amin7           Bmin7

And I’ll fall along

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

All I want to do is flow with the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

In my dreams I go…to the river of people

Emin7                      Bmin7              Amin7                Bmin7

Help me, help me to make my dreams come true

Lyrics

Sometimes I feel that I’m just wishing my life away
I wish that things could change with absolutely no delay
When lovers look as though they’re in Eden when they kiss
I believe it’s true what they say, “ignorance is bliss”
I punish myself, though I’ve done no wrong
I believe this worry will take my health
And it won’t be long before the stars fall down
And I’ll fall along

All I want to do is flow with the river of people
The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel
In my dreams I go…to the river of people
Help me, help me to make my dreams come true

I could tell you how but I could not tell you why
I’ve been sold on fools’ gold, and bought on the things that money can’t buy
Believe that once I was in love with a pretty girl
But she never broke my heart, I broke my heart myself
I’ve waited so long, for the sun to shine
Thought that I’d just tag along, blue and blind
Don’t tell me the truth because I don’t want to know

All I want to do is flow with the river of people
The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel
In my dreams I go…to the river of people
Help me, help me to make my dreams come true

Help me, help me
I’ve been to paradise and I don’t like what I’ve seen

The things I thought were so sweet were only saccharine
Life can be so cutting, life can be so cruel I believe that life has left me…
Stepping on the monkey stool
I punish myself, though I’ve done no wrong
I believe this worry will take my health
And it won’t be long before the stars fall down
And I’ll fall along

All I want to do is flow with the river of people
The bottom of my wishing well is an ocean of steel
In my dreams I go…to the river of people
Help me, help me to make my dreams come true
