There's a river in a canyon,
C/G      G          C/G    G
Near the town where I  was born,
C/G       G        C/G    G    
Where the grass is always 
        C/G G     C/G        G
greener than any other place I've 
known,
C/G    G        C/G         G

sorrow, in my mind I feel the pain,
C/G   G         G7      C      
For I know that by to - morrow
