[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am][Bb][F][Gm]

[Verse 1]
I remember [Gm]being
richer than a king
[F]The[Bb] minutes of the day were gol[Gm]den
I recall that when the joint passed round
[F]My [Bb]body felt a little colder
[Eb]But now I'm like a sewer channel
[F]- r[Eb]unning lime and sca[F]g[Eb]
Let me get at the master panel
[Bb]- let me at my stack
[F]

[Verse 2]
[G]The sea refuses no river
[Em]And right now this river[D]'s
[C]banks are [G]blown
The sea [C]refuses no river
Whether stinking and rank
[G]Or red from the tank
Whether [Am]pure as a spring
There's [C]no damned thing
stops the [D]poem
[Am]The sea refuses no [D]river[Am][F]
And this river is homeward flow
[C]ing

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][Am][Bb][F][Gm]

[Verse 3]
I have seen a [Gm]trace [F]of strain
[Bb]In other's eyes not spoken
[Gm]I must admit that I enjoyed their pain
[F]But thi[Bb]s time it's me that's bro[Eb]ken
I demand for you and [F]His
[Eb]This must be the t[F]ime
When [Eb]we decide what freedom is
[F]Tur[Bb]n water into wine
[F]

[Verse 4]
For [G]the sea refuses no river
We're pol[Em]luted now but [D]in
our [C]hearts still [G]clean
The sea [C]refuses no river
We tried not to age
[G]But time had it's rage
We're [Am]washed over stones
From [C]babes into clones of the [D]mean
[Am]The sea won't refuse this muddy [D]river
[Asus4]Nor deny [Am]the s[F]ulfur
[C]ous stream

[Interlude 2]
[C][E]
[A][E][Esus4][E]
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]There was a fool in a dressing [G]robe
[C]Riding out the twilight [G]hour
[Am]Lonely and cold in an empty [G]home
[C]Trying to assess his [G]power
[F]But now he's like a stream in flood
Swollen by the [C]storm[G]
[F]He doesn't care if he sheds his blood
[C]Let him be rebor[G]n

[Verse 6]
[G]For [A]the sea refuses no river
Re[F#m]member that when the
[E]beggar [D]buys a [A]round
[D]The sea refuses no river
And rain fills the gutters
No [A]time for stutters
[Bm]This is our chance
[D]To sing and to dance and to clo[E]wn
[Bm]The sea refuses no [D]river[G]
And rivers were sprung to drown
[D]

[Verse 7]
[F]
[G]The sea refuses no river
No [Em]pecking code re[D]spected
[C]for the [G]damned
The sea [C]refuses no [G]river
Whether [C]starving or ill
[G]Or strung on some pill
Just ''cause [Am]you own the land
There's [C]no unique hand
plugs the [D]dam
[Am]The sea refuses [D]no [Am]river[F]
And the river is where I [C]am

[Interlude 3]
[C][F][C]
[Am]
The [Bb]river is where

[Verse 8]
[F]I am
