French King

[Verse]
G                              
Driving home on the Mohawk Trail 
       D
last night
     Em                            
Am I nameless as the dry leaves in 
   C
my headlights
       G                           
When I saw a state trooper running 
                         D
out onto the French King Bridge
Em                             
Flashlight sweeping the darkness 
      C          G   D   Em   C
over the edge

[Verse]
     G                             
On a fair day you can see the Green
               D
 Mountains turn blue
Em                                
Standing on the French King 
                 C
watching the river roll through
         G                       
And on a moonless night the black 
           D
wind howls and moans
        Em                         
And the river moves like a serpent 
  C
a hundred feet below

[Chorus]
   G                               
So roll on river, restless for the 
D     Am
sea
                          C
Take this valley, wash it clean
G                                  
Who can say where a soul will find 
D       Am
peace
                                 C
Who will keep the river from the sea

[Verse]
  G                                
I thought of a shepherd, his flock 
                    D
bedded down for the night
        Em                       
And the eyes of the wolves moving 
                 C
just beyond the firelight
       G                         
And my own little child asleep in 
     D
his bed
     Em                            
As I drove on into the darkness up 
 C
ahead

[Chorus]
   G                               
So roll on river, restless for the 
D     Am
sea
                          C
Take this valley, wash it clean
G                                  
Who can say where a soul will find 
D       Am
peace

Who will keep the river from
C                                G
Who will keep the river from the sea
