River

E A I was born in the path of the winter E wind F#m B I was raised where the mountains are old E A E Their springtime waters came dancing down B E And I remember the tales they told A E The whistling ways of my younger days F#m B Too quickly have faded on by E A E But all of their memories linger on B E Like the light in a fading sky E E/D# A B E E/D# River, take me along in your sunshine, A B A E sing me a song Ever moving and winding and free A E A You rolling old river, you changing old E river A B Let's you and me, river, run down to the A E sea A E I've been to the city and back again F#m I've been moved by some things that I've B learned E A Met a lot of good people and I've called E them friends B E Felt the change when the seasons turned I've heard all the songs that the A E children sing F#m B And listened to love's melodies E A E I've felt my own music within me rise B E Like the wind in the autumn trees E E/D# A B E E/D# River, take me along in your sunshine, A B A E sing me a song Ever moving and winding and free A E A You rolling old river, you changing old E river A B Let's you and me, river, run down to the A E sea A E Someday when the flowers are blooming still F#m B Someday when the grass is still green E A E My rolling waters will round the bend B E And flow into the open sea So, here's to the rainbow that's A E followed me here F#m B And here's to the friends that I know E E A And here's to the song that's within me now B E I will sing it wherever I go E E/D# A B E E/D# River, take me along in your sunshine, A B A E sing me a song Ever moving and winding and free A E A You rolling old river, you changing old E river A B Let's you and me, river, run down to the A E sea
