verse 1
A D E F#m
I kissed my penny and I threw it in
A D E
I prayed I'd keep my soul

Went down to the river where the water bends
A D E
The only place I know
Pre-Chorus

Oh, I can't see
D
The forest
A
For the trees
A E/G# D
So will you wait for me?
A E/G# D
Will you wait for me?
A E/G# D
Will you wait for me?
A E/G# E/C# D
My evergreen

Standing at the water's edge

The Mississippi's overflowing

Hold your current in my hands

You bring the meaning to my moments

Oh, I can't see

The forest
