River’s Invitation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This is one of the other
phases of fame.
There are several others,
but we don't like to show
them off in public.
This is a thing by Percy Mayfield
called River's Invitation.
I've been all across the country
And I've played most every town
Cause I'm [G]trying to find my baby
Yes I am
[D]Nobody's seen her ride
Now you [A]know which way I'm heading
[G]If my baby can [D]be found
Well, I spoke to the river,
and the river spoke back to me.
They said, [G]son, you look so lonely.
Yes, you do.
You look [A]full [E]of [A]misery.[D]
And if [A]you can't find your baby,
[Am]Yeah[G], come along and make
it your [D]home with me

[Verse 2]
[D]Mm, all right

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[A][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Now I don't,
I'm never gonna leave her
Cause I know she's still alive
And [G]someday I'm gonna find her
And I'll take her [A]for a [D]ride
Take her for a ride
And we'll [A]live our life together
[G]And I'm home among [D]the tide,

[Outro 1]
down among the tide
[D]
