This is a little song I wrote in
All these songs I wrote on the road, you know that, don't you?
[Gb] We rapped for a little part of Living [F] Guitar.
These were all written in hotel rooms and dressing rooms.
[C]
[Em] [G] [C]
[F]
[Dm] [C]
[Bb]
[C] [D]
[F] [C]
[G] [F] Oh, the river knows your name
And your [D] tears [C] falling [Bb] like the rain
All around you, [C]
suffering [D] and pain
[Bb]
Oh, the [F] river [C] knows [G]
your name
And the [F] river [G] hears you [F] cry
[D] As the lightning
[C] cracks the [Bb] open sky
As your mama [C] sings a [D] lullaby
[D] [Bb] [G] Oh, [F] the river, [C] well she [F] knows why
[Dm] [Am]
[Bb]
[C] [D]
[F]
[C]
Let the river wash you down
[D] Neat the surface [C] with a [Bb] rushing sound
Like a freight train passing [D] through a town
[Bb] Let [F] the river [C] wash [G] you down
Let [F] the river take [Bb] [F] away
All the [D] words [Dm] you and [C] I could never [Bb] say
In the [C] silence, darling, let [D] us pray
[Bb] [F] Let the river [C] take it all away
[Dm] [C]
[Bb]
[D] [F]
[C] [G]
[F] Oh, the river, she knows your name
From [Dm] the Brasos to [C] the Wabash [Bb] to the Seine
No two journeys [F] [C] are ever quite the [Dm] same
[Bb] But the river, [C] she [F] knows your name
[Bb] Oh, the [F] river, [C] she knows your [G] name
[Bb]
