   [Verse 1]
G                                                     C
He air was swaying round the first guitar I remember
G                                                        C
We crossed the river by the Ostrum wall 'neath the stars
G                               D
To where the wedding filled the hall
   Em            Dsus4 D
My father sang a song
Em           G      C             G
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
C            G       C             G
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain

   [Verse 2]
G                                                            C
Chased Cathy round the trestles at the edge of the eightsome
G                                                            C
We watched the lovers round the lodge at the edge of the sea
G                       D
White lights and wooden boards
   Em                           Dsus4 D
We watched the village take the floor
Em           G      C             G
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
C            G       C              G
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain

   [Bridge]
G                        G6     G
There is so much I could say to you, but
G                           G6        G
Tonight I'm sticking to the past like glue
G                          G6        G
When life gets tough, when times get hard
G                        G6      G
You have to know exactly who you are
G           G6      G
Arm in arm, hand in hand
G                        G6        G
You take this woman, you take this man
F                  G
Spirit dancing evermore
F                         G
Endless circles round the floor

   [Verse 3]
G                                               C
Last night I drove my children down by the river
G                                                      C
Past the windows of the hall and the dusts of our years
G                   D
Then the radio came on
     Em                          Dsus4 D
They said "someone's playing our song"
Em           G      C             G
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
C            G       C             G
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain


   [Outro]
C            G      C             G
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
C            G       C                              G
Crossing the rhythm, caught (caught, caught) in the rain
C            G
Crossing the river
