"River of Souls" - Dan Fogelberg

       / / / /   / / / /   / / / 
Intro: Am     G  Am     G  Am

N.C.              F              G       E            Am
I take my place along the shore,   and I wait for the tide

                          F         G       E       Am
It seems I've passed this way before  in an earlier time

                     F       G         E                Am
I hear a voice, like mystery,  blowing warm through the night

                  F         G         E            Am
The silent moon embraces me   and I'm drawn to her light


I follow footprints in the sand to a circle of stone
And find a fire burning bright thought I came here alone
And in the play of shadows cast I can dimly discern
The shapes of all who've gone before, calling me to return

Chorus:
Am           F     G                Am
There are no names   that fit these faces

             F                 G                 Am
There are no lines that can define these ancient spaces

            F     G            (E)  Am     F           E        Am                 
The spirits dance   across the ages    and melt into a river of souls

Spanish refrain:

F   G   E         Am
        Lo que es mio?  (What is mine?)

F   G   E            Am
        Lo que es de Dios?  (What is God's?)

F   G   E             Am
        Lo que es del rio?  (What is the river's?)

F            E        Am
Melts into a river of souls

I take my place along the shore and I wait for the tide
It seems I've passed this way before, in an earlier time
To every man the mystery sings a different song
He fills his page of history, dreams his dreams and is gone

Repeat chorus and refrain
