| Description: |
A strange day on the southern downs
|
| Notes: |
Hiking over the Sussex downs one day, Simon and I came across an optical illusion which made the river we were by look like it was flowing uphill! Very wierd - the stuff of legends. Hopeless recording, song not long enough yet.Maybe with some thrashing violins...?

| Lyrics: |
The river flows uphill
Am on a summers day in Sussex
Hiking G up from Bury town
Stopping F briefly in the White heart
We G explorered the Southern Downs
When a Am mile along a dried up bed
Came a G clearing in the land
rushing F water filled our vision
But we G could not understand
Coz…Am the river it flowed uphill
yeah…Dm the river it flowed uphill
on a Am summers day in G sussex
yeah theAm river it flowed uphill
If you’re ever down in Sussex
Climbing up the Southern downs
take the river bed by the white heart pub
and a legend you’ll have found
Tell stories to your children
Of a day by Bury town
Where high up in the mountainside
the river won’t flow back down
Coz… the river it flowed uphill
yeah… the river it flowed uphill
on a summers day in sussex
yeah the river it flowed uphill
