Intro: Em Verse 1: Em G6 Asus2 Aadd9 It took forever and a day for the canyons and coasts to erode away Em G6 Asus4 A By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed Em G6 Asus2 Aadd9 And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass Em G6 Asus4 A Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change Chorus: G F Let it come down, let it come down G Let it make in you a new river! F Let it come down, let it come down C Em Let it make in you a new river! Interlude 1: Em Bm Asus2 A Verse 2: Em G6 Asus2 A I know the winds from the south have the waves riled up like a hungry mouth Em G6 Asus4 A And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole Em G6 Asus2 A Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides Em G6 But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides A7sus2 Asus2 And like her, you'll be made new again Interlude 2: G6 Bm Asus2 A Chorus: G C Let it come down, let it come down G Let it make in you a new river! Gsus4 Let it come down, let it come down Gsus2 G Let it make in you a new river! F Let it come down, let it come down C G Let it make in you a new river! F Let it come down, let it come down C G Let it make in you a new river! Interlude (x2): G G G G F C G F Let it come down, let it come down C G Let it make in you a new river! F Let it come down, let it come down C G Let it make in you a new river!
