F#                C#m
Who will save the river valley
G#m                Bm
That's my drinking water
F#              C#m
This was once a sacred place now
G#m                Bm
Look at what we've got here

Bm                 G         A   Asus2     A     Asus2
I'll pretend there isn't any problem, just do my job
    Bm                  G                   A  Asus2   F#
And if I don't like the standard of living, go home to Russia

(Repeat intro)

Me and Pete went swimming last night
He's my friend from Boy Scouts
All the fish were floating upright
We got scared, and we got out

Mother says don't play down where your father does his job
You know he's got to make a living, or move to Russia

(Over intro)
This is my world
This is my world
Don't make it go away
Is it a crime
Spending my time
Dreaming of yesterday

Meet me in the river valley
You can tell me stories
About a time before pinstripe suits
Dippers, grits, and Tories

(Different rhythm)
Bm                 G                A      Asus2    A    Asus2
My mother sang the songs her mother taught her
Bm               G                A Asus2    A    Asus2
We'd be swimming off in cool cool water
Bm                     G
And when she'd call us from the yard
Bm              G
Running home it felt like God, ahhh

(This part is over the intro chords, although they are not singing to match
the chords.  They are singing F#-G-A-Bm, I think.  You can play that, but 
the guitar sounds like it is still playing F#-C#m to me.)

This is my world, don't take it away

(And back to normal again.)

Is your favourite place controlled by
Developing ambitions
Do you think you'll have some power
Signing a petition

(The rest of the song is played over the intro chords.  However, I believe 
that this next verse is a half a step higher than everything else.  Maybe 
they are just singing in a different key again....)

Are you fine with your surroundings
Are they going to crumble
I'm living in the river valley
Come and join me for a tumble

(Back to original chords, if they really did change)
High up above, see the cars above the viaduct
From sunrise to the last call, they push their luck
But that would be fine
If the world was yours, and you were mine

Who will save the river valley
Who will save the river valley
Who will save the river valley
Who will save the river valley
