Am      C 
The Arahura 
C           Am 
It ebbs and it flows

It changes in ways 
G               C 
Only rivers can know

Through all of my days

G                  C 
For a shimmering prize

G                      Am 
What he needed stones for 
Am               F    G 
But you didn't mind

Verse 2
C 
And when I look down 
C                  Am 
From the mountain above 
Am             F          G 
I know I am bound 
                 C 
To the river I love 
                   F   Gm 
And in a million years 
                       Am 
I'll be a rock on that hill 
         F           G 
But in a million more 
                     C 
I don't know that I will
