River, you heard[A7] my first cry as a[D] baby
[G]And, like my Mom, you [A]sang me lulla[D]bies
[G]You knew my fishing [A]pole
When [D]I was eight y[G]ears old
And, [D]river, you [A7]never told me [D]lies
(chorus) [A]River, I can [G]see you from my [D]window
[G]Your muddy water [A]makes me feel [D]alone
[G]River, you keep [A]flowing
Like you [D]know just where you're [G]going
But, [D]river, will you [A7]ever take me [D]home
River, I'm not proud of what I've done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That you're still running free
But, river, I've got no place to run
(repeat chorus 2x)
[G]And, like my Mom, you [A]sang me lulla[D]bies
[G]You knew my fishing [A]pole
When [D]I was eight y[G]ears old
And, [D]river, you [A7]never told me [D]lies
(chorus) [A]River, I can [G]see you from my [D]window
[G]Your muddy water [A]makes me feel [D]alone
[G]River, you keep [A]flowing
Like you [D]know just where you're [G]going
But, [D]river, will you [A7]ever take me [D]home
River, I'm not proud of what I've done
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see
That you're still running free
But, river, I've got no place to run
(repeat chorus 2x)
