[Primeira Parte]

  A         D           E        F#m
I kissed my penny and I threw it in
  A          D       E
I prayed I'd keep my soul
     A           D               E     F#m
Went down to the river where the water bends
A                D         E
The only place I know

[Pré-Refrão]

Bm7   F#m7
Oh, I can't see
    D
The forest
        A
For the trees

[Refrão]

            A    A/C# D
So will you wait for me?
         A    A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
         A    A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
             A     E/G#    E/C#    D

[Segunda Parte]

A        D      E       F#m
Standing at the water's edge
A        D      E
The Mississippi's overflowing
A         D       E     F#m
Hold your current in my hands
A             D             E
You bring the meaning to my moments

[Pré-Refrão]

Bm7   F#m7
Oh, I can't see

The forest
        A
For the trees

The forest

Hopeless against the stream
