[Verse 1]
Em G
It's market day when
D C
they bring the flood
Em C D G D
faster than our feet can ru..n
Em C D G
swarm of angels from above
C Em D G D
all is broken still they come
[Pre Chorus]
C Em
And round the oak tree
G D
air is shaking
C Em G D
children sleep under the sun
[Chorus]
C G
and we go down to the river to pray
D Am
pray for magic and another day
C
but its low now, its like
G
we're fading away
D C
into the dirt of memory
[Verse 2]
Em G D
along the silk road
C
the fires burn
Em C D G
where the seats of learning stood
Em C
and handsome couples
D G
would take a turn
C Em D G
through the wealthy neighbourhood
[Pre Chorus]
C Em G D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
C Em G D
wake oh, wake your time has come
[Chorus]
C G
and we go down to the river to pray
D Am
pray for magic and another day
C
but its low now, its like
G
we're fading away
D C
into the dirt of memory
G
and we go down to the river today
D Am
we pray for silence and we pray for grace
C
but its low now
G
still you're rubbing my face
D C
into the dirt of memory
[Bridge]
