The River Just Knows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]4[D][C]
a.m. comes awful early,
and I was dead on my feet
But if you [G]gonna catch a biggest fish
You gotta lose a little sleep
Well, I pack [C]my gear and a
couple beers
I headed for my favorite spot
Well, I curse [G]my luck when I saw his
truck [D]right where I pulled off
Wish [Em]open to have the [D]river
to myself [C]that day

[Verse 2]
'Cause the river don't [G]talk,
the river don't [C]care
Where you've [G]been, what you've done
Why [D]it is your standin' there
It just flows [Em]on by
whisperin' to your [C]soul
It's gonna be al[G]right,
[D]the river just kno[G]ws

[Verse 3]
[G]The way the sun [C]bounced
off the water
I couldn't wholely make him out
But I could [G]see he had a fish on
A big ole rainbow trout
The [C]fight went on forever
And as he headed down my way, I saw his
[G]Military hair cut and the new
[D]scars on his face
Right [Em]then I knew what
[D]brought him to this [C]place

[Verse 4]
You know the river don't [G]talk,
the river don't [C]care
Where you've [G]been,
what you've done
Don't know why [D]it is
your standin' there
It just flows [Em]on by
whisperin' to your [C]soul
It's gonna be al[G]right,
[D]the river just kno[G]ws

[Verse 5]
He held that [F]fish down in the water
And it [C]caused to back the line
He [G]said "Help,
you get your wind back
'Cause [D]you help me get mine"
And all [Em]I could think to[D] say
was [C]"Welcome home"
But I [Em]think that river [D]said
[C]it best on its own

[Verse 6]
'Cause the river don't [G]talk,
you know the river don't [C]care
Where you've [G]been,
what's you've done
Why [D]it is your standin' there
It just flows [Em]on by
whisperin' to [C]your soul
It's gonna be al[G]right,
[D]the riv[C]er just kno[G]ws
It's gonna be alright,
[D]the river just kno[C]ws

[Outro 1]
