That song about the river Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][D][Dsus4][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]have seen
the paddle wheelers
Rolling [C]south on a summers?
[Em]day
I've seen [Am]the lovers at
[D]the guardrails
[C]With stars in [D]their lem[G]onade

[Verse 2]
And I've [G]heard the hobo?s gather
Heard their [C]banjo?s brace
[Em]the blade
Heard [Am]them sing about [D]the river
Called it [C]the lazy [D]man?s [G]parade

[Verse 3]
Sing me that [G]song about the river
[C]Green going away
[Em]You know I alway[Am]s did feel like a drif[G]ter
At this [D]time of day

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][G][D][Dsus4][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Last night I stood by the highway
Pre[C]tended I was on my [Em]way
You know a [Am]hundred thousand
head[D]lights
Couldn't [C]match [D]the milky [G]way

[Verse 5]
And when [G]the moonlight
touches the water
Surely [C]something touches [Em]me
And I go [Am]reaching for the [D]river
Like it?s [C]reaching [D]for the[G] sea

[Verse 6]
Sing me [G]that song about the river
[C]Green going [Em]away
You know I [Am]always did feel like a [G]drifter
At this [D]time [G]of day

[Verse 7]
[G]
[C]Somethings go on [F]forever
But [Dm]truth don't ever [C]stray[G]
[Am]The wind may brush the wa[G]ter
But the [Dm]river holds its way
[D]

[Verse 8]
Sing me [G]that song about the river
[C]Green going [Em]away
You know I [Am]always did feel like a [G]drifter
At this [D]time of day

[Outro 1]
