       Em7               G9        D'        hD
   The fisherman used to dive into   running water
       Em7            G9                D'    hD
   and take a shining sixpence from the floor.
Em7         G9              D'        hD
   Now he's waiting for the Salmon of Knowledge
Bm             G9                A
   to help him wade out from the shore.


   He looks down on the lake on a sunlit morning
   Loves the ancient world that is within
   The surface shadow is his simple warning
   Transformation must begin.

              D Dsus2             G9
   Close your eyes, listen to the river.
              D Dsus2             G9
   Open your heart, listen to the river.
              D Dsus2             G9
   Close your eyes, listen to the river.

F6 Em7 D Dsus2 G9


   The rain pours down on Barley Harbour
   As expectation fills the pier
   The fisherman looks out on the horizon
   The salmon of knowledge is coming here.

   Let the bells ring out in the heartland
   Let all the poets come to pen.
   May they write in praise of celebration
   The salmon goes upstream once again.

              D Dsus2             G9
   Close your eyes, listen to the river.
              D    Dsus2              G9
   Open your heart now, listen to the river.
              D Dsus2             G9
   Close your eyes, listen to the river.
