Not being a guitarist, I have to rely on the chords provided in songbooks. This is from Songs, compiled by Yohann Anderson
RIVER OF JORDAN
Peter Yarrow- ©1972 Mary Beth Music, ASCAP
D Em D
I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan
D Em A
To find where it flows to the sea.
Em B7 Em B7
I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry
Em B7 Em
And I saw I was looking at me.
G Bm
I wanted to know if life had a purpose
G A
And what it all means in the end.
D Em D Em
In the silence I listened to voices inside me
D G D
And they told me again and again.
D A D
There is only one river. There is only one sea.
A D
And it flows through you, and it flows through me.
Bm G
There is only one people. We are one and the same.
E A
We are all one spirit. We are all one name.
D G D
We are the father, mother, daughter and son.
E A
From the dawn of creation, we are one.
A
We are one.
D Em D Em
Every blade of grass on the mountain
D Em A
Every drop in the sea
Em B7 Em B7
Every cry of a newborn baby
Em B7 Em
Every prayer to be free
G Bm
Every hope at the end of a rainbow
G A
Every song ever sung
D Em D
Is a part of the family of woman and man
Em D G D
And that means everyone.
We are only one river. We are only one sea.
And it flows through you, and it flows through me.
We are only one people. We are one and the same.
We are all one spirit. We are all one name.
We are the father, mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation, we are one.
We are one.
