Verse 1
    G                       Em 
The Arahura, it ebbs and it flows 
              Am   D                G 
It changes in ways only rivers can know 
                                      Em 
But when I was young, I studied those waves 
                     Am  D                G 
And I kept them with me through all of my days 
 
Verse 2
   G                             Em 
Te Rauparaha had the greenest of eyes 
               Am  D                G 
He came a long way for a shimmering prize 
             C  Bm                       Em 
And God only knows what he needed stones for 
               Am   D                     G 
But you didn't mind for you've a million more

Verse 3
    G                                  Em 
And when I look down from the mountain above 
            Am   D               G 
I know I am bound to the river I love 
                 C  Bm                        Em 
And in a million years I'll be a rock on that hill 
                 Am  D                    G 
But in a million more I don't know that I will
