Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "Across the River" oleh Bruce Hornsby.

               D                  
Well, she moved back around here
F                 Am                 D
Thirty-five weeks ago today
       G                 D
Oh, down the lane

           D                      F      Am
Well, at night she walks on the banks
                                                D                              G
And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away
                              D  
And how she left one day

     Am                                           G
She left with a driven look in her eyes
                                                 D
Came back around with it still inside
Am
They said give it some time
                       G
And you'll forget about it too
                                          D
We know they always do

[Chorus]
  D
Well, I know some fine day
C        
You will find your way
G                                           D
Across the river, across the river
D
Row down slow
                     C            D
There's a long way to go
                         D
Across the river, across the river

           D
She was proud and so strong
            F           Am                  D
But she tried not to listen to idle talk
      G                           D
Downtown where she walked

          D                         
Well, they sit around and they say
                     F                Am                          D
That she came back with her tail between her legs
            G                       D
Like they always said she would

       Am                                         G
Well, I hear it's better on the other side
                                                   D
They say you'll never do it so don't even try
        Am                                                   G
Well, you may be beaten down with your closed mind
                                     D
But don't try to make it mine

[Kembali ke Chorus]

    D                                    
"Your wild days are through"
 F            Am     D
Is what they said
G                                         D
I dreamed she came, and I went down
 D                       F                      Am
And I walked where she led standing on the shore

 D                                           G
She looks to the west with a look of longing
                                               D
To where the grass seems greener
     Am                                       G
Well, there's a hard and distant prize
                                                         D
It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
     Am                                    G
Well, even if it doesn't happen for me
                                             D
It still beats hanging around here

[Kembali ke Chorus]
