[Intro]
G Em7/C x4
[Verse 1]
G Em7/C G
I'm waiting on an elevator in a hotel out in California
G D
Smog clouds up in the windows, but there is a plaque up on the wall
G Em7/C G
That tells of the Agoras, people who were here long before us
Em7/C G D
Before the covered wagons, before they lost it all
[Verse 2]
G Em7/C G
They were hunters, they were fishermen and they often fought each other
G D
But one small tribe was different, their leader was a peaceful man
G Em7/C G
They were weavers, they were painters, trading pelts for pretty colours
Em7/C G D
Protected by the warriors for the beauty in their hands
[Chorus]
Am D Am D G Em7/C G Em7/C
Roll back the years, roll back the years, to the river of tears
[Verse 3]
G Em7/C G
The chief he had a daughter, she was young and she was beautiful
G D
He said, "Go into the forest, get some berries for the dye
G Em7/C G
But make your way back quickly, for the old bear's getting hungry
Em7/C G D
I don't want you out there, when the sun falls from the sky"
[Verse 4]
G Em7/C G
Her basket filled with berries, she headed back toward the village
G D
When a mighty roar erupted, she ran und hid inside a hollow tree
G Em7/C G
And the shadows were getting longer, the forest was getting colder
Em7/C G D
And the chief began to panic, where could his daughter be
[Chorus]
Am D Am D G Em7/C G Em7/C
Lost in the years, lost in the years, on the river of tears
[Instrumental]
G Em7/C x2
[Verse 5]
G Em7/C G
In the camp the fires were dying, when the old chief started crying
G D
Soon all the tribe were crying, the ground grew wet beneath their feet
G Em7/C G
And the tears they turned to water and the water became a river
Em7/C G D
And the river flowed like an arrow, to the foot of a hollow tree
[Verse 6]
G Em7/C G
And the girl looked out in wonder, as she saw the water falling
G D
She knew it was her father and she swam to his canoe
G Em7/C G
And all the tribe stopped crying, and the river started subsiding
Em7/C G D
Into the hill of the Agoras, and so the legend grew
[Chorus]
Am D Am D
Roll back the years, roll back the years
Am D Am D G Em7/C G Em7/C
Roll back the years, roll back the years, ahh to the river of tears
[Outro]
G Em7/C G Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing
Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing
Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing
Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing
Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing
Em7/C G Em7/C G
I wish all the world was healing...
