Intro.: | (C) (G) (Bm) (D) | (C) (G) (Bm) (D) | (C) (G) (Bm) (D) | (C) ---
4 a. (C)m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet
But if you gonna (G) catch a biggest fish
You gotta (D)lose a little sleep
Well, I (C)pack my gear and a couple beers
I (Em)headed for my favorite spot
Well, I (G)curse my luck when I saw his truck (F#dim)right where I pulled off
Wish (Em)open to have the (D)river to myself that (C) day
(Chorus)
‘Cause the river don’t (G)talk, the river don’t (C)care
Where you’ve (G)been, what you’ve done
Why it (D)is your standin’ there
It just flows on(Em) by whisperin’ to your (C)soul
It’s gonna be al-(G)right,(D) the (C)river just (G)knows (G) (Bm) (D) | (C) (G) (Bm) (D)
The way the (C)sun bounced off the water
I couldn’t wholely make him out
But I could (G)see he had a fish on
A (D)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 (F#dim)new scars on his face
Right (Em)then I knew what (D)brought him to this (C)place
(Chorus)
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 it (D)is your standin’ there
It just flows on(Em) by whisperin’ to your (C)soul
It’s gonna be al-(G)right,(D) the (C)river just (G)knows
He held that (F)fish down in the water
And it (Em)caused to back the line
He said (G) “Help, you get your wind back
‘Cause (F#dim)you help me get mine”
And all (Em)I could think to (D)say was “Welcome (C)home”
But I (Em)think that river (D)said it best (C) on its own
‘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 it (D)is your standin’ there
It just flows on (Em)by whisperin’ to your (C)soul
It’s gonna be al-(G)right, (D) the (C)river just (G)knows
It’s gonna be alright, (D) the (C)river just knows
