The River Song

By: Felix L. Perry

G                                              C

You know that river keeps on rolling

G                                              C

Those salt tides still wash the shore

D

And that old sun comes up each morning

        C                                  G

But you don’t live here anymore, and

        C                                              G

The preacher…still preaches each Sunday

         C                                      G

And those church bells always ring

D

I still hang… my head in sorrow

          C                       G         C  G   C  G

Each time that choir sings

G                                          C

At night I see the stars still shining

          G                       C

I still feel the breezes blow

              D

The mountains rise in the distance

C                                  G

So why’d you have to go…(chorus)

G                                          C

Today I’ll walk down to the river

G                                                   C

Just before the next tide…hits the shore

D

Before the sun…comes up tomorrow

C                                           G

I’ll join again with you once more…(chorus)

G                                             C

You know that river keeps on rolling…….

                         G                     C

You know that river keeps on rolling……

                         G                     C

You know that river keeps on rolling……

                          D                  G         C        G

cause you don’t live here anymore
