The River Knows Your Name Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, the river knows your name
And your [Bm]tears [A]fallin' like [G]the rain
All around you, [A]suffering and [Bm]pain
[G]On [D]the river, [A]she knows your nam[D]e
And the river [G]hears you [D]cry
As the [Bm]lightning crack[A]s the open s[G]ky
As your mama sing[A]s a lull[Bm]aby
[G]Oh, the [D]river, [A]she knows why[D][G][D]
[G][D][Bm][A][G][A][Bm][G][D][A][D]
Let the river [G]wash you [D]down
Beneath [Bm]the surface [A]with a rushing [G]sound
Like a freight train [A]passing through a [Bm]town
[G]Let the [D]river [A]wash you [D]down[G]
[D][Bm][A][G][A][Bm][G][D][A][D]
Let the river take away
All the [Bm]words you and [A]I could never s[G]ay
In the silence, [A]darling, let us pray
[Bm]Let [G]the rive[D]r take[A] it all away[D]
Oh, the river, she [G]knows your [D]name
From the [Bm]Brazos,
to [A]the Wabash, to [G]the Seine
No two journeys are [A]ever quite the [Bm]same
[G]But the [D]river, [A]she knows your [D]name
[G]Oh, the [D]river [A]knows your
[G]name[Bm][Em]
You
[D]
