Song Of The Boatmen

Am Am Dm Last night I lay in a restless bed F E A hum-drum life pounding in my head Am Dm When out of the night came a mighty roar! F E Am The river, callin' me back once more. Am My heart knows what the river knows Dm E I gotta go where the river goes Am Dm Restless river, wild and free F E Am The lonely ones are you and me. Am Dm Today I know your magic call F E Will lead me back to the canyon wall Am Dm And the music in your rapid's roar F E Am Makes this boatman's song from his soul outpour Am My heart knows what the river knows Dm E I gotta go where the river goes Am Dm Restless river, wild and free F E Am The lonely ones are you and me. Am Dm Tonight as on your banks I sleep F E Like a woman, soft, you will sigh and weep Am Dm And I will dream of a sweet, warm kiss F E Am And a moonlit stream, and the love I miss. Am My heart knows what the river knows Dm E I gotta go where the river goes Am Dm Restless river, wild and free F E Am The lonely ones are you and me. Am Dm Someday before I'm old and grey F E I'll find a woman who'll go my way Am Dm She'll take the rapids strong with me F E Am And she'll blend her voice in a song with me. Am My heart knows what the river knows Dm E I gotta go where the river goes Am Dm Restless river, wild and free F E Am The lonely ones are you and me. Am Dm F Am
