Intro: Dm C G (2x) 

Dm                        C  G 
I've been waiting on the day 
Dm                         C   G 
When all my problems drift away 
Dm                             C   G  
And all that I could hope to find 
Dm                            C  G 
A little peace of my own mind 

SAME CHORDS 

Here, 
At the mercy of the tide 
By these muddy banks I've cried 
And wash my sins in her cool water 
(Where a man can find his place) 
At the mercy of the tide 

Gm                      C   
In the distance, for an instant 
          C 
I could see her standing 

Dm                          C 
By the river, where I feel her 
         G                         Dm 
It's the place where I'd find shelter 
Dm                       C 
And I need her, I believe her 
G                Dm 
Mekong River Delta 

I'm still waiting on the day 
But my life gets in the way 
I wish I had some time for you 
(I don't know if you want me to) 
The things we say but never do 

Gm                      B 
In the distance, for an instant 
         C 
I could see her standing 

Dm                          C 
By the river, where I feel her 
         G                         Dm 
It's the place where I'd find shelter 
Dm                       C 
And I need her, I believe her 
G                Dm

By the river, where I feel her

It's the place where I'd find shelter 
Dm                       C 
And I need her, I believe her
