The River Knows Your Name (from the album: Walk On) By John Hiatt
BbOh the rFiver Bbknows yoFur name
And youDmr tears fCalling like the Bbrain
All Dmaround you Csuffering and Fpain Bb
Oh theF river Cknows your Fname
BbAnd the Friver hBbears you Fcry
FAs the Dmlightning Ccracks the open Bbsky
As yourDm Momma Csings a lullFaby Bb
Oh theF river Cshe knows Fwhy
(Same chord pattern repeats all five verses)
Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down
Let the river take away
All the words what you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away
Oh the river knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash To the Seine
No two journeys are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name, Oh the river knows your name
