[Intro 1]
[D][Am][D][Bm][C]
[Em][G]
Was [Em]it summer when the river

[Verse 1]
[C]
[D]ran [Bm]dry,
[B]Or was it just another [E]dam.[Em][G]
When the evil of [C]a snowflake in [D]June
[G]Could still be a [Bm]source of relief.
[C]O h[Em]ow I love you,
I once cried long ago,
But I was the one who decided to go.
[Am]To search beyond t[Dm]he final crest[Fdim],
Though I'd heard it said just
[Em]birds could [Bm]dwell so [C]high.
[D]

[Verse 2]
So [G]I pretended to have
[C]wings for [D]my [Bm]arms
And [Bsus4]took off in t[B]he air.[E]
[G]I flew to places which
[C]the clouds never [D]see,
Too [Bm]close to the deserts [C]of sand,
Where a [Em]thousand mirages,
the shepherds of [A]lies
[Em]Forced me to land and take a disguise.
[A]I would wel[Am]come a horse's
[Dm]kick to send [Fdim]me back
If I could find [Em]a horse [Bm]not
made of sand.
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
[E]
If this desert's all there'll
[F#m]ever b[F#dim]e
Then tell me what be[F]comes of [C]me.
[D]A fall of rai[Bb]n?[Csus4][F]
That [Fdim]must have been an
[Bb]other of your [F]dreams,
A dream of [Am]mad m[G]an[Em] moon[D].[E][Em][E]

[Verse 4]
Hey [C#]man,
I'm the sand [C#sus4]man.
And [C#]boy have I n[F#]ews [C#]for you;
They're [C#sus4]gonna thro[C#]w you in gaol
And you know they can't fail
''cause sand is thicker than blood.
[B]But a [E]prison in sand
Is a haven in hell,
For a gaol can give you a goal
[and a] goal can [E#dim]find you [C#]a role[E#]
On a muddy pitch in Newcastle,
Where it rains so much
You can't wait for a touch
Of [F#m]sun and sa[E]nd,
[F#]sun and sand...
[D#m][D#sus4][D#m][F#]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Within [Em]the valley [G]of [D]shadowless death
[Bsus4]They pray for thunderclouds an[B]d rain,[E]
[D]But to [G]the multit[Em]ude
[C]who stand in the [D]rain
[Bm]Heav[G]en is [Bm]where the sun [C]shines.
The [Em]grass will be greener till the
stems turn to brown
And thoughts will fly higher till
the earth brings them [E]down.
[Am]Forever caug[Dm]ht in desert lands[Fdim]
one has to learn
To disbe[Em]lieve [Bm]the sea.
[C][D]

[Verse 6]
[E]
If this desert's all [F#m]there'll
ever [F#dim]be
Then tell me what be[F]comes of [C]me.
[D]A fall of rai[Bb]n?[Csus4][F]
That [Fdim]must have been an
[Bb]other of your [F]dreams,
A dream of [Am]mad m[Asus4]an moon.[Em][D][E]
