[G] [Dm]
[C] [Bb] Oh
[C]
[D] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[G] [F]
the river knows your name
And your [D] tears [C]
falling like [Bb] the rain
All around you [C]
suffering [D] in pain
[Bb]
Oh [F] the river [C]
knows [G] your name
And the river [F]
hears you cry
As [D] the lightning [C] cracks the [Bb] open sky
As your mama sings a [D] lullaby
[Bb] Oh [F] the river,
[C] well she knows [G] why
[F]
[Dm]
[Am] [Bb]
[C]
[D] [Gm]
[F] [C]
[F]
Let the river wash you down
[D] Neat the surface [C] with a rushing [Bb] sound
Like a freight train [C] passing through a [D] town
[Bb] [F] Let the river [C] [F] wash you [G] down
[F] Let the river take [F]
away
All [D] the words [C] you and I could [Bb] never say
In the silence [C] darling let us [D] pray
[Bb] [F] Let the river [C]
take it [F] all away
[Dm] [C]
[Bb]
[C]
[D] [Bb] [F]
[C]
[G] [F]
Oh the river, she knows your name
From [D] the Brasos [C] to the Wabash to [Bb] the Seine
No two journeys [C] are ever quite the [Dm] same
[Bb] [F] But the river, [C] she knows [F] your name
[Bb] Oh the river, [C] she knows your [G] name
[Bb] [F]
