[C] [Am]

I can close my eyes and it takes me back [Am] To two young [G] lovers on that river bank
[F] [C] To the sounds of the wind and the [Am] whippoorwill And [C] the way that your bare skin [F] would feel
As we laid in [G] the sun I could see your [Am] eyes [C] Blue as the blue in that [F] southern sky
[C] This is warm as a wild [Am] red rose At the [C] bend in the river where the cottonwood grows
And we'd [F] dance [F] and we'd sing And we'd love each other as the pale [Am] moon glowed
At [C] the bend in the river where the cottonwood [Am] grows
[C] At the bend in the [G] river where the [C] cottonwood grows

I can still recall the words you said [Am] And the plans we [G] dreamed as we looked [F] ahead
[C] But the fork in the river took us [Am] separate ways [C] As the years went by I can't forget [F] those days
[C] And I often [G] wonder but I'll never [Am] know [C]
If we ended up following a [F] different road
[C] Would we still be laying by the wild [Am] red rose At [C] the bend in the river where the cottonwood grows
And we'd dance and we'd sing And [F] we'd love each other as the pale [Am] moon glowed
At [C] the bend in the river where the [Am] cottonwood grows
[C] At the bend in the [G] river where the cottonwood [C] grows
