[Verse 1]
[G]I met you in 8[C]2,
over a [Em]crate of beer and [D]not a few
I [G]cracked a can and [C]so did you,
we're [Em]gonna change the [D]world
The [G]ghetto kings of [C]downside town
the [Em]estates and parks,
our [D]hallowed ground
[G]Doing anything [C]that we found,
and [Em]on the river f[D]lowed

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]You'd take a [C]drink
from the [Em]Reverend Jimmy [D]Jones
Yeah, [G]you'd cross the [C]street
on the [Em]path the gunman [D]roams
[G]Thrown aside and [C]left to waste,
[Em]that was you, you [D]knew your place
[G]Wander round, get [C]off your face,
and [Em]on the river f[D]lowed

[Chorus 1]
And [Em]on and on the river flows
[G]We the [D]under[C]tow
And [Em]on and on the river flows
[G]We the [D]under[C]tow

[Verse 2]
Oh, [G]I don't know how you m[C]ade it through
[Em]all the smoke and [D]brew you do
But It [G]sure has left its [C]mark on you,
but you're [Em]still with us to[D]day
[G]Life goes on and [C]round we go
and [Em]words can kill the [D]things I know
[G]Often you cut me [C]deeply so,
but [Em]on the river f[D]lows

[Pre-chorus 2]
And [G]you'd set the [C]table
for the [Em]barber Sweeney [D]Todd, yeah
[G]You'd clip the [C]wings off of [Em]any rising g[D]od
[G]Man can't live on [C]hope alone,
it [Em]can be cut, all t[D]hat is grown
[G]Broke your spirit but [C]not your bones,
and [Em]on the the river f[D]lows

[Chorus 2]

[G]We the [D]under[C]tow

[Bridge 1]
You're [A]working now, you're forced to race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide has covered your face
And there's nothing you can do
But I [A]still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me so far or leave me dead

[Outro 1]
And all you said was true
[G]Na-na-na...[C][Em][D]

[G]Na-na-na...[C][Em][D]
[G][C][Em]
The river [D]flows, [G]oh
