Key: :[A#] (w: Victoria Shaw, Garth Brooks)

INTRO: [A#] [F]

VERSE 1:
You know a [F] dream is like a river
Ever [A#] changin' as it [F] flows
And a [A#] dreamer's just a [F] vessel
That must [Gm] follow where it [C] goes
Trying to [F] learn from [A#] what's be-[F]-hind you
And never [A#] knowing what's in store
Makes each [F] day a [A#] constant [F] battle
Just to [C] stay between the [F] shores [A#] [F]

CHORUS:
I will [F] sail [A#] my [F] vessel
'Til the [A#] river runs [F] dry
Like a [A#] bird upon the [F] wind
These [Gm] waters are my [C] sky
I'll never [F] reach my [A#] desti-[F]-nation
[A#] If I never try
So I will [F] sail [A#] my [F] vessel
'Til the [C] river runs [F] dry

VERSE 2:
Too many [F] times we stand aside
And let [A#] waters slip a-[F]-way
'Til what we [A#] put off 'til to-[F]-morrow
Has [Gm] now become to-[C]-day
So don't you [F] sit up-[A#]-on the [F] shoreline
And [A#] say you're satisfied
[F] Choose to change the rapids
And [C] dare to dance the [F] tide [A#] [F]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
And there's [Dm] bound to be rough [A#] waters
And I [F] know I'll take some [A#] falls
But with the [Gm] good lord as my [F] captain
I can [A#] make it through them [C] all

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+2] [C]

CHORUS:
I will [G] sail [C] my [G] vessel
'Til the [C] river runs [G] dry
Like a [C] bird upon the [G] wind
These [Am] waters are my [D] sky
I'll never [G] reach my [C] desti-[G]-nation
[C] If I never try
So I will [G] sail [C] my [G] vessel
'Til the [D] river runs [G] dry

OUTRO:
So I will [G] sail [C] my [G] vessel
'Til the [D] river runs [G] dry
