[Verse 1]
C F
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb F
As the day begs the night
C
for mercy love
C F
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Bb F
Carved into stone
C
On the face of it
C F
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
Bb F C
We see the sun go down in your eyes
[Chorus]
C Bb F C
You run like a river, on to the sea
C Bb F C
You run like a river runs to the sea
[Verse 2]
C F
And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire zone
Bb F
Where poets speak their heart
C
Then bleed for it
C F
Jara sang - his song a weapon, in the hands of one
Bb F
whose blood still cries
C
From the ground
[Chorus]
C Bb F C
It runs like a river runs to the sea
C Bb F C
It runs like a river to the sea
| C | F | C | C |
| C | F | Bb F | C
[Verse 3]
C F
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
Bb F C
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
C
I'll see you again
F
When the stars fall from the sky
Bb F
And the moon has turned red
C
Over One Tree Hill
[Outro]
C Bb F
We run like a river
C
Runs to the sea
C Bb F C
We run like a river to the sea
C Bb F
And when it's raining
C
Raining hard
C Bb F
That's when the rain will
C
