The River Knows Your Name (from the album: Walk On) By John Hiatt
COh the GriverC knows Gyour name
And youEmr tears fDalling like the Crain
All Emaround you Dsuffering and Gpain C
Oh theG river Dknows your Gname
CAnd theG river Chears yoGu cry
GAs the Emlightning Dcracks the open Csky
As yourEm Momma Dsings a lullGaby C
Oh theG river Dshe knows Gwhy
(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
