Bm And they came to the river And they came from the road And he wanted the sun Just to call his own Bm F# E And they walked on the dirt And they walked from the road Till they came to the river Till they came up close Chorus: Bm G F# Throw your pain in the river Throw your pain in the river Leave your pain in the river To be washed away slow And we walked without words And we walked with our lives Two silent birds circled by Chorus: Like our pain in the river And the pain in the river And the white sun scattered Washed away this slow And we followed the river And we followed the road And we walked through this land And we called it a home But he wanted the sun And I wanted it all And the white light scatters And the sun sets low Chorus: Like our pain in the river Like our pain in the river Like the white light scattered To be washed away slow Like our pain in the river Like our pain in the river Like the way life scattered To be washed away slow | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsE  F#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
