[Intro]
C#m G#m C#m G#m C#m A F#m7 B
[Chorus]
A G#m F#m
Oh, I stood watching
B A E A
Oh, I stood waiting
B A D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
C#m A E B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand
[Instrumental]
C#m G#m C#m G#m C#m
[Verse]
G#m C#m
Well, I listened to the shouting
G#m C#m
Of those with their lies
G#m C#m
Who tore at the heart
G#m C#m
Of this country of mine
[Verse]
E A E
But here's where a quiet man
A E
With truth in his hand
C#m A B
Can make a stand and be heard in this land
[Chorus]
A G#m F#m
So I stood watching
B A E A
Oh, I stood waiting
B A D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
C#m A E B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand
[Instrumental]
C#m G#m C#m G#m C#m
[Verse]
G#m C#m
So I stood by the watch road
G#m C#m
Till the October of their days
G#m C#m
With the winds to my left
G#m C#m G#m
And then far from the right and blowing my way
[Verse]
E A E
But now is the hour
A
The time I can see
E C#m A B
When we'll win with the truth that has made us so free
[Chorus]
A G#m F#m
So I stood watching
B A E A
Oh, I stood waiting
B A D
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
C#m A E B
I'll be there for to lend you my hand
[Chorus]
A G#m F#m
Oh, I stood watching
B A E A
Oh, I stood waiting
[Outro]
