Old River - Ginny Hawker & Hazel Dickens Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] Oh river, you're wide, _ you're deep and cold.
_ _ You make a lonesome sound _ as the word you roll. _
Neat the crest of your way, I know I can sleep.
_ And forget all the sorrow you brought to [A] me.
_ [F#] _ Beneath the time, _ beneath the night,
[C#m] _ _
We sat here talking, _ [F#] _ making things right.
You heard every vow, _ _ _ our [C#m] plans.
[F#]
Oh river, I know [C#] that you understand.

[F#] _ _ _ _ The dawn is breaking _ on sea and land. _
As I write my farewell _ _ upon your sand.
_ Your waves will embrace me, my body you'll claim.
[F#m] _
Oh river, oh river, you're calling [F#] my name.
[F#m] _
[F#] Oh the waves of _ _ love, as all time flows.
_ Like the hearts of [C#m] lovers, _ when love [C#] turns cold. _
_ River, oh river, _ _ _ _ you're deep.
_ In a water and grave, [C#] forever _ I'll sleep.
