Intro (x2): Dbm Abm

Verse 1:
    Dbm                            Abm
Two lovers wander down to the shore
Dbm                  Abm
Hand in hand the evening before
    A                          B (nc)   Dbm     Abm
The day that their hands will be joined
    Dbm                           Abm
She enters and swims with the foam
   Dbm                   Abm
He bids her come out and come home
    A                  B  (nc) Dbm
The deeper and colder she goes

Chorus:
    Dbm                 Abm
The silt of our wedding bed
    Dbm                        Abm
The pebbles where you lay your head
A         B   (nc)        Dbm     Abm
Love come in, the water is fine

Verse 2:
     Dbm                                 Abm
When shе is pulled beneath thе rush (ah, ah, ah)
   Dbm                        Abm
He waits and waits, his face aflush (oh, oh)
         A                B    (nc) Dbm
'Til the pale imitation drifts up

Chorus:
    Dbm                 Abm
The silt of our wedding bed
    Dbm                        Abm
The pebbles where you lay your head
A         B
Love come in
    Dbm               Abm
The minnows our witnesses
    Dbm                   Abm
The cause of our sickness is
A         B               Dbm
Love come in, the water is fine

Bridge:
A
Blood runs thicker than water
B
Blood runs thicker than water
Dbm
Blood runs thicker than water
    Abm
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed


A
I am the river's daughter
B
I am the river's daughter
Dbm
I am the river's daughter
    Abm
And you'll be her son when we're both reposed


A
Blood runs thicker than water
B
Blood runs thicker than water
Dbm
Blood runs thicker than water
    Abm
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed


A
I am the river's daughter
B
I am the river's daughter
Dbm
I am the river's daughter
    Abm
And you'll be her son when we're both reposed
