[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D][A][Bm][A][G][A][D]
Long ago and [Em]far away

[Verse 1]
[Em]
[G]the river [A]was made
[D]I was a young boy[Em],
I was fish[G]ing on the riverb[A]ank
[D]And I learned my fai[Em]r share
on [G]how to grow [A]up fast
And I [D]didn't [A]even know [Bm]it back [A]then,
but a [G]river [A]ran [D]through it
[A][Bm][A][G][Asus4][D]

[Verse 2]
Seven[Em]teen by now, [G]wild [A]and free
[D]Fell in love with a sir[Em]en on the[G] bank
s of the Coeur [A]d'Alene
[D]That pretty little riv[Em]er queen
turned [G]me into [A]a man
And when my [D]heart was broke,
I [Bm]did n't [D]know but a r[G]iver r[A]an t[D]hrough it

[Verse 3]
So, roll [G]on mighty river just roll [D]on,
[G]wash away my sins
Show me the [D]way back [A]home
No, I [Bm]don't, no I don't [A]know [G]much about this life,
but this [E]is true
At [D]the end of it [A]all we'll [Bm]merge [A]into one and a [G]river
[A]run[D]s through it
[A][Bm][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
Further [Em]down the line I was
[G]runnin' from [A]the law
[D]I forgot who[Em] I was and made
a [G]bad turn [A]in Arkansas
[D]But I found re[Em]vival in [G]a Rocky
Mountain [A]stream
And when my [D]soul came [A]through
I [Bm]fi nally k[A]new that a r[G]iver
[A]runs through [D]it

[Verse 5]
So, [G]roll on mighty river just [D]roll on,
[G]wash away my sins
[D]Show me the way back [A]home
No, I [Bm]don't, no I don't [A]know [G]much about this life,
but this [E]is true
At [D]the end of it all [A]we'll [Bm]merge [A]into one and a
[G]river [A]runs [D]through it
[A][Bm][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 6]
I'm an old man now,
[G]my hair is turnin' [A]grey[D]
I made it to the river [G]where
I'll spend my final [A]days
[D]And I [A]watch the wa[G]ter flow by like
my life's being played [A]out
And I [D]pray that the [A]Lord will float [Bm]me home
[A]While a riv[G]er runs t[A]hro[D]ugh it

[Verse 7]
So, [G]roll on mighty river just [D]roll on,
[G]wash away my sins
Show me the [D]way back [A]home
No, I [Bm]don't, no I don't [A]know [G]much about this life,
but this [E]is true
At [D]the end of it [A]all we'll [Bm]merge [A]into one
and a [G]river [A]run[D]s through it
Lord, at the [A]end of it [Bm]all,
[A]I swear [G]that a river run[A]s through it
