Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Sai[Bm]ling [D]do[Bm]wn[D][A][D]
[A]my dir[D]ty str[Bm]eam
[D]Still I lov[Em]e it and[Bm] I'll keep the[D] dream
That [A]some day,
though maybe [D]not [Bm]this year
[D]My Hudson[Em] River will[D] once
again [Bm]run [D]clear

[Verse 2]
It starts high in [Em]the moun[D]tains
of [Bm]the north[D]
Crystal clear and [Bm]icy trickles f[Em]orth[D]
[A]With just a few floating wrap
[Bm]pers of chewing gum
[D]Dropped by some hik[Em]ers to
warn [D]of things to come
[A]At Glens Falls,

[Verse 3]
five thou[D]sand honest hands
Work [Em]at the consol[D]idated
paper [Bm]plant
[A]Five million [Bm]gallon[D]s of [Bm]waste [D]a day
Why should we [Em]do it an[D]y
oth[Bm]er way?[D]

[Verse 4]
Down the valley [D]one million toilet chains
Find my Hudson [A]so [D]convenient
place [A]to drain
And [D]each little city says, "Who, me?
Do [Bm]you think [Em]that sewa[A]ge
[D]plants [Bm]come [D]free?"[Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
Out in the [D]ocean they say
the water's clear
But [Em]I live rig[A]ht at [D]Beacon her[Bm]e[D]
Half way between the
[Bm]moun[D]tains and [Bm]sea
[D]Tacking to [Em]and fro,
this thought [D]re [A]turns [D]to me

[Verse 6]
[D]Well it's Sailing up my dirty [Bm]stream
[D]Still I love it an[Bm]d I'll [A]dream
[D]That [A]some day,
[D]though maybe not this yea[Bm]r
[D]My Hud[Em]son and my cou[D]ntry
will run [Bm]clear[D][G]
[D][D]
