th Fret 


Intro: C  F  C  Am F  (3x)  G 

             F 
Wake me from sleeping until noon 
              Am                   F       G 
Ooh, when the day is already on its wing 
                         F 
I was dreaming 'bout how I met the one 
          Am                              F       C 
Who would challenge me to a full and happy life 


                     F 
I wish that when the moment god appeared 
       Am                                F       C 
That I hardly saw when the timing, it is right 
                       F 
I would talk about the places we will go 
      Am                                F        G 
As we trust each other's welfare all our lives 

 
C             F            C 
We are forming down river 
                    Am   F 
Straight through the town tonight 
C             F            C 
We are forming down river 
                    Am   F     G 
Straight through the town tonight 


               F 
Meet me by the water 'round three 
             Am                            F        G 
Oh, and I'll tell you that my love is truly yours 
                    F 
And you'll begin to open up inside 
           Am                                F        C 
Ohh, let's escape to the great, the great out-doors 


               F 
We'll walk down to the park and pretend 
           Am                                 F        C 
That we're sure that our feelings, they won't change 
                     F 
We hope that we'll become like that old 
        Am                                      F       G 
 Couple sitting down on the bench, still holding hands 

 
C             F            C 
We are forming down river 
                    Am   F 
Straight through the town tonight 
C             F            C 
We are forming down river 
                    Am   F     G 
Straight through the town tonight
