The intro sequence I think, is this d5 bm* asus4 g5 a5
Verse
Bm* d5 bm* asus4 g5 d5 d d dsus2 d
Darlin' wake up now, I'm makin' a promise that I'm gonna keep
Bm* d5 bm* asus4 g5 a5
I'll never give up now, when love is a passion that can't go to sleep
Chorus
A5 d5 g5 a5 d5 g5 a5
Until the mighty rivers, until the mighty oceans dry up, I'll be your man
A5 d5 g5 a5 d5 g5 a5
Until the mighty rivers all run dry and fade away girl you understand

They tell you there's no chance,
for love to be stable when everything shakes
It only took the one glance, for my heart to tremble and my soul to quake
Repeat chorus (plus)
A5 bm* d5 a5 d5
Till the mighty rivers ooh mighty rivers,
Bridge

Ooh can you hear me as you run into my back
Bm* d5 bm* a5
And the customs never clear me, they want to put me behind black
Repeat intro

Oh darlin wake uh up now, before there's no sunshine left up in the sky
I'll never give up now, let's shed all the teardrops and let our hearts dry
Repeat chorus (plus)

The mighty rivers, the mighty rivers, the mighty rivers,
