( Verses are just G-Em-D-C repeated;Chorus is as above, repeated till end of chorus ) Two priests came round our house tonightOne young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying To serve the final rite,One to learn, one to teach, Which way the cold wind blows Fussing and flapping in priestly blackLike a murder of crows Chorus: And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea If I had my way I'd take a boat from the riverAnd I'd bury the old man,I'd bury him at sea Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of the needle And as these words were spoken I swear I hearThe old man laughing,"What good is a used up world, and how could it be Worth having" Chorus: And all this time the river flowed Endlessly like a silent tearAnd all this time the river flowed Father, if Jesus exist,Then how come he never lived here. (Now switch key to A - thus this verse is A-F#m-E-D) The teachers told us, the Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire Garrison town,They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a soundAnd their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left Were the stones the workmen found Chorus:
And all F#mthis time E F#m The Briver flowed D EnEdlessly to the Asea F#m A If IF#m had my way E F#m I'd take a Bboat from the rivDer Men go Ecrazy in congregations
