VERSE 1: [D#add9][Gm7][C7sus4] If life is a [F] river, [C7sus4] and your heart is a [F] boat [A#] And just [A#/A] like a [Gm] water baby, baby [D#] born to [F] float [C7sus4] And if life is a [F] wild wind that [C7sus4] blows way on [F] high [A#] And your [A#/A] heart is A-[Gm]-melia [D#] dying to [F] fly
CHORUS: [D#] Heaven [F] knows [Dm7] no fron-[G]-tiers [D#] And I've seen [F] heaven in your [D#add9] eyes [Gm7][C7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a [F] bar room, in [C7sus4] which we must [F] wait [A#] Round the [A#/A] man with his [Gm] fingers on the [D#] ivory [F] gates [C7sus4] Where we sing until [F] dawn, of our [C7sus4] fears and our [F] fates [A#] And we [A#/A] stack all the [Gm] dead men in [D#] self addressed [F] crates
BRIDGE:
In your [A#] eyes, faint as the singing of a [F] lark
That [Dm] somehow this black [Gm] night
Feels warmer for the [D#] spark, warmer for the [A#] spark
To hold us 'til the [F] day, when [Dm] fear will lose its [Gm] grip
And heaven has its [D#] ways
VERSE 3:
If your life is a [F] rough bed, of [C7sus4] brambles and [F] nails [A#] And your [A#/A] spirit's a [Gm] slave to man's [D#] whips and man's [F] jails [C7sus4] Where you thirst and you [F] hunger for [C7sus4] justice and [F] right [A#] And your [A#/A] heart is a [Gm] pure flame of [D#] man's constant [F] night
