Dm            C 
By the river, through the summer 
Bb                A 
I waited patiently 
Dm                C 
You had promised, with all your power 
Bb                  A 
To come and rescue me 
      A        C      Dm 
To come and set me free 

Dm                    C 
And you were running, through the valley 
Bb                     A 
Heading straight for me 
Dm                   C 
My mind was shaking, but I was ready 
Bb                  A 
For you to rescue me 
A          C          Dm 
For you to set me free 

Dm 
Hooooo oohhh 
C 
Hooooo oohhh 
Bb 
Hooooo oohhh 
A 
Heeyyyyy  

Dm                C 
I found a letter, floating in a bottle 
Bb                         A 
Being washed away to the sea 
Dm                 C 
Penned by freedom, addressed to no one 
Bb                   A 
For who now could it be? 

Dm 
Hooooo oohhh 
C 
Hooooo oohhh 
Bb 
Hooooo oohhh 
A 
Heeyyyyy  

Dm              C 
I saw a vision, some kind of apparition 
Bb                    A 
But it felt so real, so free 
Dm                    C 
I had a conversation, a faint of liberation 
Bb                    A 
For who now could it be 
A          C     Dm 
For anyone but me 

Dm 
Hooooo oohhh 
C 
Hooooo oohhh 
Bb 
Hooooo oohhh 
A 
Heeyyyyy  

( Dm  C  Bb  A )
