D G I went on the river for money, D G I sold my old rotten shack Em D G For a rusty tanker leaking oil, Em D G and the burning sun was on my back Traveled up the ragin' river, I watched the jungle burn And in the reddenin' twilight, I wondered would I ever return Chorus: Am G C Ridin' on a river of dreams B7 Em Broken dreams C A D I'm ridin' on a river of dreams Em C Em C Amazon, Amazon Am D Is it heaven or hell? Em Amazon An eagle flew above us, I felt the breezes blow Fish with teeth like ivory, waited down below On shore they cut and hammered, and fenced them in with wire While ancient fires in the jungle, burned our souls like fire Chorus What kind of creature's gonna rise up from these ashes? What's gonna fly in the moonlight feathers aglow? What kind of rain could come in from these sorrows? Nobody knows, nobody knows At dawn we crossed the rapids, a place where few men go I felt the desolation, where nothing seemed to grow When I got my wages, I hung my head and cried I could not stop these visions, that swept in like the tide Chorus Oh, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  A  C  C#  D  Em  F#  G  B  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
