Fountains of Wayne - Song Of The Passaic

      "Song Of The Passaic"

[Verse]
G                             Bb
The rivers run and none shall know
F                             C
How long their waters yet may flow
Eb                        Bb
We read the record of the past
F                               C
While time withholds the future cast
G                           Bb
Yet in their flowing to the sea
F                        C
The rivers fill their destiny
Eb                          Bb
And to the measure of their lays
C#                            F
Run on and on through endless days

[Chorus]
Eb
And in the rise, The light and glow
Bb
Of grand old rivers in their flow
F                                    C
From distant hills through dales and lea
Eb       F                 C
The fair passaic seeks the sea
Eb       F                 G
The fair passaic seeks the sea

G  Eb  Bb  F   G  Eb  Bb  F

[Verse]
G                       Bb
And overhead in arch of stone
F                              C
There flows a tide so slow and prone
Eb                          Bb
To will of men whose genius planned
F                            C
A waterway that runs through land
G                       Bb
Until its slow and lazy tide
F                             C
O'erflows its banks on either side

Eb                             Bb
And vaste expanse of wasteland fills
C#                        F
With ooze of water at its wilt

[Chorus]
Eb
And in the rise, The light and glow
Bb
Of grand old rivers in their flow
F                                    C
From distant hills through dales and lea

Eb       F                 C
The fair passaic seeks the sea
Eb       F                 G
The fair passaic seeks the sea
