Oh, the river run down, but the 
  C      G/B Am
stream ran dry
Dm         G        C     Am
Big strong man don't ever cry
     F         Em        C       Am
Just stands to watch his love go by
        Em        F           
Oh, the river run down, but the

stream ran dry

[Verse]
Dm              G             C 
Yes, he loved a woman, but he 
           Am
let her get away
F           G            C       
Didn't ever think he'd regret 
  Am
that day
    Dm            G           C  
The laugh and the smile, he'd 
            Am
still play the game
       F         Dm7      G      
But he knew that day would never 
       C     C7
be the same

There walks a man, he could've

had a home
F         G           C          
Fine baby children, a woman of 
  Am
his own
   Dm         G        C         
He walks all alone, he doesn't 
     Am
have a care
       F        Dm7
