Lost River Chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

_ _ _ _ [B] Hey, bro. _
Well, I'll go to the Little Bear and dance to it.
[E] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ There's a lost river that flows in a [E] valley where no one [B] goes
Where [F#] the wild waters [E] rush
Rumbles deep in the hush
Though I'm far from there [B] now
[E] Lord, I'll get back somehow
[B] To [F#] where the lost river [E] winds [F#] in the shadows
of [B] the past
_ Oh, lost river, [E] now I'm [B] coming back
[F#] To the pot [E]-bellied stove
[F#] Where the firewoods [B] all stack
Our Quebec girl go with me
[E] Out in my valley
[B] Where the lost [E] river winds
[F#] In the shadow [B] of the [Bm] past
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ Now everybody knows where [E] that lost river [B] flows
[F#] It's someplace [E] he's lost
[F#] Behind bridges that [B] he's crossed
Well, he'd like to return
[E] But the bridges are [B] all burned
[F#] And he's much too [E] far down
[F#] To return to [B] higher ground
_ Oh, lost river, [E] now I'm [B] coming back
[F#] To the pot [E]-bellied stove
Where the firewoods [B] all stack
Our Quebec girl go with me
[E] Out in my valley
_ [B] Where [F#] the lost [E] river winds
[C#] In the shadow [B] of the past
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, lost river, [E] far over [B] the ridge
[F#] Now is [E] it too late
For me to build me [B] a new bridge
To the bright golden time
[E] When her love [B] was still mine
[F#] And the world [E] was still wild
Like the heart [G#] of a _ child
[B] Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back
[F#] To the pot-bellied stove
[D#] Where the [D#m] firewoods all stack
[B] Our Quebec girl go with me
[E] Out in my valley
Where [B] _ [F#] the lost [E] river winds
In the shadow [B] of the past
[F#] Where the lost [E] river winds
[F#] In the shadow [E] of [B] the past
