River, you heard [Ab] my first cry [Eb] as a baby, [Ab] like my [Bb] mom you sang me [Eb] lullaby.
[Ab] You knew my [Bb] fishing pole [Eb] when I was [Ab] eight years old.
[Eb] And River, [Bb]
you never told [Eb] me lie.
[Bb] River, I [Ab] can't see you [Eb] from my window.
[Ab] Your muddy [Bb] water makes me [Eb] feel numb.
[Ab] River, you [Bb] keep flowing [Eb] like you know just [Ab] where you're going.
[Eb] But River, [Bb] will you ever [Eb] take me home?
River, [Bb] I'm not proud [Eb] of what I've done.
[Ab] Somehow [Bb] my fishing pole [Eb] became a gun.
[Ab] Through these prison [Bb] bars I see [Eb] that you're still [Ab] running free.
[Eb] But River, [Bb] I've got nowhere [Eb] to run.
[Bb] River, [Ab] I can't see you [Eb] from my window.
[Ab] Your muddy [Bb] water makes me [Eb] feel numb.
[Ab] River, you [Bb] keep flowing [Eb] like you know just [Ab] where you're going.
[Eb] But River, [Bb] will you ever [Eb] take me home?
River, [Bb] will you
