[A]
[D] The springtime waters [G] came [D] dancing down, and I remember [A] the tales [D] they told.
The whistling ways [G] of my [D] younger days, too quickly have [Em] faded [A] on by.
[D] [A]

[G] You rolling [D] old river, [Em] you changing [D] old river, [G] let's you and [A] me river run [D] down to the sea.

Someday when the flowers [G] are [D] blooming still, someday [Em] when the grass is [G] still green,
