[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Last night I lay in a restless bed,
Bb E
A humdrum life pounding in my head.
Am Dm
When out of the night came a mighty roar,
Bb Am
The river calling me back once more.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
F E
I gotta go where the river goes.
Am Dm
Restless river wild and free,
F E Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
Today I know your magic call,
Bb E
Will lead me back to the canyon wall.
Am Dm
And the music in your rapids roar,
Bb Am
Make this boatman's song from his soul outpour.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
F E
I gotta go where the river goes.
Am Dm
Restless river wild and free,
F E Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
Tonight as on your banks I sleep,
Bb E
Like a woman soft, you will sigh and weep.
Am Dm
And I will dream of a sweet warm kiss,
Bb Am
And a moonlit stream and the love I miss.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
F E
I gotta go where the river goes.
Am Dm
Restless river wild and free,
F E Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
[Verse 4]
Am Dm
Someday before I'm old and gray,
Bb E
I'll find a woman who'll go my way.
Am Dm
She'll take the rapids strong with me,
Bb Am
And she'll blend her voice in a song with me.
[Outro]
Am Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
F E
I gotta go where the river goes.
Am Dm
Restless river wild and free,
F E Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
