Capo On The First Fret.
As I went out waGlking, on a fine summer dCay
Through hills and the vaDlleys
I soon lost my wGay D
Till I came to an oGld man, kneeling down by a stCream
Gazing in to the wDater, like he was lost in a dGream
In his hand was a piCcture, he clung to for liGfe
And his eyes filled with tAears, as he tried not to cDry
As he looked to the CheaveGns, he started to pEmray
In the quiet country CsidDe, I could hear the man Gsay
Chorus
Life is a rGiver, I'll go with the flCow
And where it will tDake me, the Lord only kGnows D
but I miss you swGeetheart, your kindness and lCove
But i Know one dGay, we'll sail awDay on God's ocean aGbove
He said now young man, you're a stranger to me
Could I bother you kindly, for your company
Today I am thinking, of a time long ago
And I need to tell someone of a girl I love so
It's 42 years today, since Rose took my hand
and proudly I loved life, her husband, her man
till only last week son, God took her away
As I kissed her softly, these words she did say
Life is a River...
And with that the old man, sent me on my way
and said 'by the water I'll kneel for the day'
'I look at the river, starting out on it's life,
It's where I feel close to, my beautiful wife
