[VERSE I]
Gm Gm F/A
I remember being richer than a king

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,

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