Intro: the chords I have worked out here consist of two base notes only
Some of them are power chords (neither major nor minor, no 3rd)

D5 55xxxx
Bm* 75xxxx
Asus4 55xxxx (same as d*)
G5 35xxxx
A5 57xxxx
Dsus2 xx0230
/ / / / / / / /
The intro sequence I think, is this d5 bm* asus4 g5 a5

Verse
Bm* d5 bm* asus4 g5 d5 d d dsus2 d
Darlin' wake up now, I'm makin' a promise that I'm gonna keep
Bm* d5 bm* asus4 g5 a5
I'll never give up now, when love is a passion that can't go to sleep

Chorus
A5 d5 g5 a5 d5 g5 a5
Until the mighty rivers, until the mighty oceans dry up, I'll be your man
A5 d5 g5 a5 d5 g5 a5
Until the mighty rivers all run dry and fade away girl you understand

Verse
They tell you there's no chance, for love to be stable when everything shakes
It only took the one glance, for my heart to tremble and my soul to quake

Repeat chorus (plus)
A5 bm* d5 a5 d5
Till the mighty rivers ooh mighty rivers

Bridge
Bm* d5 bm* d5
Ooh can you hear me as you run into my back
Bm* d5 bm* a5
And the customs never clear me, they want to put me behind black

Repeat intro

Verse
Oh darlin wake uh up now, before there's no sunshine left up in the sky
I'll never give up now, let's shed all the teardrops and let our hearts dry

Repeat chorus (plus)
D5 bm* d5
Until the mighty rivers, the mighty rivers, the mighty rivers
Bm* d5 bm*
The mighty rivers, the mighty rivers, the mighty rivers

Repeat chorus
D5 a5 bm* g5 a5 d5
Till the mighty rivers oooooh mighty rivers..
