SONG: Just Around The Riverbend
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz
From the musical, Pocahontas
[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse]
C
What I love most about rivers is:
F C(add9)/G
You can't step in the same river twice
F/A G/B C
The water's always changing, always flowing
Fmaj7
But people, I guess, can't live like that
Am
We all must pay a price
Dm7 Dm7/G G
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
Em F
What's around the riverbend
F/G Em/G F/G Em/G F/G G
Waiting just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
G/F C/E F
I look once more
C
Just around the riverbend
G/F C/E F
Beyond the shore
C
Where the gulls fly free
Am
Don't know what for
D9sys D9
What I dream the day might send
F/G F/G G
Just around the riverbend
A D
For me
A D
Coming for me
[Verse]
C
I feel it there beyond those trees
F Gsus
Or right behind these waterfalls
F/A G/B C G/C C
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
Fmaj7
For a handsome sturdy husband
G/A Am
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
Dm7 F F/G G F/G G
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Em F
Just around the riverbend
F/G Em/G F/G G F/G G
Just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
G/F C/E F
I look once more
C
Just around the riverbend
G/F C/E F
Beyond the shore
C
Somewhere past the sea
Am
Don't know what for ...
D9sus D9
Why do all my dreams extend
F/G F/G
Just around the riverbend?
Dm/G x
Just around the riverbend ...
[Bridge]
Fadd9
Should I choose the smoothest course
C/E F(add9) F
Steady as the beating drum?
F/A G/B
Should I marry Kocoum?
C F(add9) F
Is all my dreaming at an end?
F G/A Am G/A Am
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Dm7 G7sus
Just around the river
C F
bend?
