Neil uses the dropped tuning for the track on the 'Freedom'
album. There are also live versions, where he plays the song in
standard tuning except for the top E string tuned down to B. 
He plays the same chord shapes as above, and performs it a tone
higher than the record, in the key of E. 
Live version dropped tuning:  E-A-D-G-B-B

[Verse 1]
E                      Aadd9
Though the river flows gently to the sea,
D6            Aadd9   E
He was on the shore,  rooted like a tree,
E                        Aadd9
She was here, and there, riding on the waves,
D6                 Aadd9               E
Through it all she heard his call, and gave it all she gave

[Chorus]
B                            Aadd9 *
   And though their love was hanging on a limb,
    E                       F#m11  G#m                  Aadd9 *
She taught him how to dance-------------, and start a - gain,
B                            Aadd9 *
   And though their love was hanging on a limb,
    E                             F#m11             G#m  Aadd9 *  B
She taught him how to dance! (She taught him how to dance------!)

[Verse 2]
    E                Aadd9
And when the melody, through the window called,
   D6            Aadd9          E
It echoed in the courtyard, and whispered in the halls,
   E                                Aadd9
He played it through the night, she knew he had to go,
          D6              Aadd9      E
There was something about freedom he thought he didn't know

[Chorus]
B                            Aadd9 *
   And though their love was hanging on a limb,
    E                        F#m11   G#m                   Aadd9 *
She taught him how to dance----------------, and start a - gain,
B                            Aadd9 *
   And though their love was hanging on a limb,
    E                             F#m11             G#m  Aadd9 *  B
She taught him how to dance! (She taught him how to dance------)
