The River

F#m
Paint me a picture of a river

And let it flow
                  E  D
Just let it flow
                               E
It will flow and wash away our differences
              F#m
And love will grow

You have the power to deliver
                E  D
So let it flow
                             E
When I dip my hand into your water
            F#m
I feel your soul

[Chorus]
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba

F#m                                              E  D
I'll do the fire by your river of melted stone
                               E
You can drink the silver of my moonlight
            F#m
As our fire burns

The fire burns
                       
I'll slide inside your silent water
                     E  D
Like polished stone
                              E
Then break the surface with a shiver
                F#m
While the river flows

While the river flows

[Chorus]
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba

F#m
Paint me a picture of the river

And let it flow
             E  D
Let it flow
                               E
All across the deserts and the mountains
             F#m
We'll let it go

Let it go

[Chorus]
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
A     B  A E      F#m
Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba
