[Verse]
     C
4 a. m. comes awful early, and I was
 dead on my feet
                 G
But if you gonna catch a biggest 
fish
          D
You gotta lose a little sleep
        C
Well, I pack my gear and a couple 
beers
  Em
I headed for my favorite spot
        G                          
Well, I curse my luck when I saw 
        F#dim
his truck right where I pulled off
     Em                D      
Was hoping to have the river to 
              C
myself that day

[Chorus]
                       G       
Cause the river don't talk, the 
              C
river don't care
             G
Where you've been, what you've done
       D
Why it is you're standin' there
                 Em              
It just flows on by whisperin' to 
      C
your soul
                  G      D   C   
It's gonna be al- right, the 
       G     G Bm D C G Bm D
river just knows |

            C
The way the sun bounced off the 
water
I could hardly make him out
            G
But I could see he had a fish on
  D
A big ole rainbow trout
    C
The fight went on forever
And as he headed down my way, I saw 
his
G                        F#dim
military haircut and the new scars 
on his face
      Em               D          
Right then I knew what brought him
         C
 to this place

[Chorus]
                         G         
You know the river don't talk, the 
            C
river don't care
             G
Where you've been, what you've done
                  D
Don't know why it is you're standin'
 there
                 Em              
It just flows on by whisperin' to 
      C
your soul
                  G      D   C   
It's gonna be al- right, the 
       G
river just knows

             F
He held that fish down in the water
       Em
And he coaxed it back to life
        G
He said I'll help you get your wind 
back
       F#dim
Cause you helped me get mine
        Em               D     
And all I could think to say was 
           C
welcome home
      Em               D          
But I think that river said it 
  C
best on its own

                       G           
Cause the river don't talk, you 
                   C
know the river don't care
             G
Where you've been, what you've done
       D
Why it is you're standin' there
                 Em              
It just flows on by whisperin' to 
      C
your soul
                  G      D   C   
It's gonna be al- right, the 
       G
river just knows
                       D   C
It's gonna be alright, the river 
just knows
