DA7D
River, you heard my first cry as a baby
GAD
And, like my Mom, you sang me lullabies
GA
You knew my fishing pole
DG
When I was eight years old
DA7D
And, river, you never told me lies
Chorus:
AGD
River, I can see you from my window
GAD
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
GA
River, you keep flowing
DG
Like you know just where youʼre going
DA7D
But, river, will you ever take me home
River, Iʼm not proud of what Iʼve done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That youʼre still running free
But, river, Iʼve got no place to run
Chorus.
