Neil uses the dropped tuning for the track on the 'Freedom'
album. There are also live versions, where he plays the song in
standard tuning except for the top E string tuned down to B.
He plays the same chord shapes as above, and performs it a tone
higher than the record, in the key of E.
Live version dropped tuning: E-A-D-G-B-B

[Verse 1]
EAadd9
Though the river flows gently to the sea,
D6Aadd9E
He was on the shore, rooted like a tree,
EAadd9
She was here, and there, riding on the waves,
D6Aadd9E
Through it all she heard his call, and gave it all she gave
[Chorus]
BAadd9 *
And though their love was hanging on a limb,
EF#m11G#mAadd9 *
She taught him how to dance-------------, and start a - gain,
BAadd9 *
And though their love was hanging on a limb,
EF#m11G#mAadd9 * B
She taught him how to dance! (She taught him how to dance------!)

[Verse 2]
EAadd9
And when the melody, through the window called,
D6Aadd9E
It echoed in the courtyard, and whispered in the halls,
EAadd9
He played it through the night, she knew he had to go,
D6Aadd9E
There was something about freedom he thought he didn't know
[Chorus]
BAadd9 *
And though their love was hanging on a limb,
EF#m11G#mAadd9 *
She taught him how to dance----------------, and start a - gain,
BAadd9 *
And though their love was hanging on a limb,
EF#m11G#mAadd9 * B
She taught him how to dance! (She taught him how to dance------)

Though the river flows gently to the sea,

Through it all she heard his call, and gave it all she gave
