[A] Lord, this cavern by the river holds most everything [D] for me
As you [E] make the mighty river sweep from mountain [A] top to sea
The gum trees took two hundred years to grow so [D] tall
And yet, a [E] mighty strike of lightning and nothing [A] seems to have left
Roll along, mighty river, [D] roll along [A] to the sea
I understand you [E] have a [D] plan that [A] holds full place for me
Roll [E] forever, [A] mighty river
The softness of the water you've filled with fish [D] and game
[E] To feed your dark-haired children before the white [A] man came
You've watched this mighty river when river faults [D] belong
[E] And cloaked above with silt and mud when the air of them [A] had gone
Roll along, mighty river, [D] roll along to [A] the sea
I [E] understand you have a [D] plan that holds full [A] place for me
[E] Roll forever, [A] mighty river
This river is the lifeblood of a thousand [D] little farms
[E] The anabranch and side streams have a [A] hundred clenchy arms
Sometimes I know this river is colored [D] gold with mud
[E] And when it's gone the lowlands are replenished [A] by the flood
Roll along, mighty river,
[Em] [D] roll along [A] to the sea
I [E] understand you have a [D] plan that holds full [A] place for me
[E] Roll forever, [A] mighty river
You've sent this restless river to wet and [D] arid [A] land
[E] Without the interference of the careless [A] hand of man
Perhaps a thousand years from now when man [Em] at last [D] has gone
[E] You'll grant one wish to me and show the river [Ab] [A] moving on
Roll along, mighty river, roll [Em] [D] along to [A] the sea
I understand [E] you have a plan [D] that holds full [A] place for me
Roll [E] forever, [A] mighty river
[E] Roll forever, [A] mighty river
