Life Is A River

              G                 
As I went out walking, on a fine 
        C
summer day
                      D
Through hills and the valleys
               G     D
I soon lost my way
                  G                
Till I came to an old man, kneeling
           C
 down by a stream
                 D                 
Gazing in to the water, like he was
           G
 lost in a dream
                  C                
In his hand was a picture, he clung
        G
 to for life
                         A         
And his eyes filled with tears, as 
                D
he tried not to cry
                    C  G      
As he looked to the heavens, he 
             Em
started to pray
                     C    D       
In the quiet country side,  I 
               G
could hear the man say

[Chorus]
          G                       
Life is a river, I'll go with the 
C
flow

                  D                
And where it will take me, the Lord
      G   D
 only kno-ows
               G               
but I miss you sweetheart, your 
              C
kindness and love
               G                D 
But I know one day, we'll sail 
                  G
away on God's ocean above

[Verse 2]
            G                  
He said now young man, you're a 
             C
stranger to me
                   D               
Could I bother you kindly, for your
      G   D
 company
           G                       
Today I am thinking, of a time long
  C
 ago
                   D               
And I need to tell someone of a 
         G
girl I love so
        C                          
It's 42 years today, since Rose 
     G
took my hand
              A              
and proudly I lived life, her 
              D
husband, her man
               C    G             
till only last week son, God took 
     Em
her away
                C      D          
As I kissed her softly,  these 
           G
words she did say

[Chorus]
          G                       
Life is a river, I'll go with the 
C
flow
                  D                
And where it will take me, the Lord
      G   D
 only kno-ows
               G               
but I miss you sweetheart, your 
              C
kindness and love
               G                D 
But I know one day, we'll sail 
                  G
away on God's ocean above

[Otro]
                  C                
And with that the old man, sent me 
     G
on my way
                 A               
and said 'by the water I'll kneel 
       D
for the day'
               C G                
'I look at the river, starting out
          Em
 on it's life,
                  C        D  
It's where I feel close to,  my 
            G
beautiful wife
