River

D                A7               
River, you heard my first cry as a 
 D
baby
G                     A    
And, like my Mom, you sang me 
        D
lullabies
G                   A
You knew my fishing pole
     D            G
When I was eight years old
     D          A7            D
And, river, you never told me lies

         A            G           
(chorus) River, I can see you from
    D
 my window
G                A             D
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
G               A
River, you keep flowing
         D                     
Like you know just where you're 
 G
going
     D               A7           
But, river, will you 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
