Words & Music: Karine Polwart#
Standard Tuning- No capo
D Dsus4 D
This weary Earth we walk upon
D A
She will endure when we are gone
Bm A D
While kingdoms come and kingdoms go
A D
Rivers run and rivers flow
D Dsus4 D
You know I don't believe it's true
D A
That in this world there's nothing new
Bm A D
For darling you have just begun
A D
Rivers flow and rivers run
CHORUS:
Bm A D A G
And if those rivers should ever run dry
Bm D A F#m - G
Somewhere the rain will still fa-ll,
F#m - G D
Will still fa-ll from the sky
D Dsus4 D
When I'm beguiled by the fear
D A
That darker days are drawing near
Bm A D
My darling, you seduce the sun
A D
Rivers flow and rivers run
CHORUS
And if those rivers should ever run dry
Somewhere the rain will still fall,
Will still fall from the sky
D Dsus4 D
This wounded Earth we walk upon
D A
She will endure when we are gone
Bm A D
But still I pray that you may know
A D
How rivers run and rivers flow
CHORUS
And if those rivers should ever run dry
Somewhere the rain will still fall,
Will still fall from the sky

So I cross my heart and hope to live
D
Just long enough that I can give
D
It all to you, my darling one
D Bm
Rivers flow and rivers run
A D
my darling one
D A D
Rivers flow and rivers run
