Chords for Roger Whittaker - River Lady (A Little Goodbye)

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The day the river freezes [F#m] is the [G#] day it passes [D] on
So they'll come to get the river laden and I don't think [A] they'll care
I know they'll scrape the things off [Bm] in their same old foolish ways
[D] Now the people see the river but the old ships [A] gone away
Water [D] turns cold against the creases
From [A] the river the old girls easing away [C#m] from the
Round from the point of no [D] return
_ Mother knew the river's bound
[A] But old home town [C#m] and her little child
Couldn't run off [D] mother's _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ feet
I know I will remember when [Bm] I can
I _ _ [D] was lost by the mountain
She took us through [A] the storm
I know they've got to take us
But [Bm] I can't listen
[D] Won so many battles
And I hate to [A] see her lose
Water [D] turns cold against the creases
And before you [E] even know it
The old [A] girls easing [C#m] away from the
Round from the point of no [D] return
_ Mother knew the river's bound
But old [A] _ home town [C#m] and her little child
Couldn't run off [D] mother's _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ feet
Water [D] turns cold against the creases
And before you [A] even know it
The old girls [C#m] easing away from the
Round by the point of no [D] return
_ Mother to me her engine's found
[A] And back on the band
That old home town [C#m] and her little child
Is what I [D] must do _ _ _
