Tuning: E A D G B E

[Verse]

I was b^Eorn in the path of the^A winter ^Ewind I was raised where the mo^F#muntains are old^B Their ^Espringtime waters came ^Adancin^Eg down And I remember the ^Btales they ^Etold

[Verse]

The whistling ways of my y^Aounger d^Eays Too quickly have ^F#mfaded on by ^B But ^Eall of their memories ^Alinger ^Eon Like the light in a ^Bfading ^Esky

[Chorus]

^ERi^E/D#ver, take ^Ame along^B in your ^Esu^E/D#nshine, ^Asing me a so^Bng Ever movin^Ag and ^Ewinding and free You ^Arolling ^Eold river, you c^Ahanging old ^Eriver Let's ^Ayou and me, ^Briver, run^A down to the ^Ase^Ea

[Verse]

I've been to the city and ^Aback again^E I've been moved by some ^F#mthings that I've learned^B Met a ^Elot of good people and I've ^Acalled them f^Eriends Felt the change when the ^Bseasons ^Eturned

[Verse] I've heard all the songs that the

^Achildren ^Esing And listened to ^F#mlove's melodie^Bs I've f^Eelt my own music w^Aithin me ^Erise Like the wind in the ^Bautumn t^Erees

[Chorus]

^ERi^E/D#ver, take^A me alon^Bg in your s^Eun^E/D#shine, ^Asing me a so^Bng Ever movin^Ag and ^Ewinding and free You ^Arolling ^Eold river, you c^Ahanging old ^Eriver Let's ^Ayou and me, ^Briver, run^A down to the ^Ase^Ea

[Instrumental] [Verse]

Someday when the flowers are ^Ablooming^E still Someday when the ^F#mgrass is still gre^Ben My ^Erolling waters will ^Around the ^Ebend And flow into the ^Bopen ^Esea

[Verse] So, here's to the rainbow that's

^Afollowed me ^Ehere And here's to the ^F#mfriends that I kno^Bw And ^Ehere's to the song that's ^Ewithin me^A now I will sing it ^Bwherever I ^Ego

[Chorus]

^ERi^E/D#ver, take ^Ame along^B in your s^Eun^E/D#shine, ^Asing me a so^Bng Ever movin^Ag and ^Ewinding and free You ^Arolling ^Eold river, you c^Ahanging old ^Eriver Let's ^Ayou and me, ^Briver, run^A down to the ^Ase^Ea
