Nick Drake - River man

^CmBetty came by on her way ^Bbm Said she had a word to sa^Aby About things today ^C And fallen leaves

^CmSaid she hadn't heard the news ^Bbm Hadn't had the time to choo^Abse A way to lose^C But she believes

^CmGoing to see the river man ^Bbm Going to tell him all I ca^Abn About the pla^Cn For lilac time

^CmIf he tells me all he knows ^Bbm About the way his river flow^Abs And all night shows^C In summertime

^CmBetty said she prayed today ^Bbm For the sky to blow awa^Aby Or maybe sta^Cy She wasn't sure

^CmFor when she thought of summer rain ^Bbm Calling for her mind aga^Abin She lost the pai^Cn And stayed for more

^CmGoing to see the river man ^Bbm Going to tell him all I ca^Abn About the ban^C On feeling free

^CmIf he tells me all he knows ^Bbm About the way his river flows^Ab I don't suppose^C It's meant for me

^CmOh how they come and go Oh how they come and go
