Nick Drake - River man

^Am Betty came by on her way ^Gmadd11 Said she had a word to say ^Fmaj 'Bout things today ^Aadd9 And fallen leaves

^Am Said she hadn't heard the news ^Gmadd11 Hadn't had the time to choose ^Fmaj A way to lose ^Aadd9 But she believes

^Am Gonna see the river man ^Gmadd11 Gonna tell him all I can ^Fmaj About the plan ^Aadd9 For lilac time ^Am If he tells me all he knows ^Gmadd11 'Bout the way his river flows ^Fmaj And all night shows ^Aadd9 In summertime

^Am Betty said she prayed today ^Gmadd11 For the sky to blow away ^Fmaj Or maybe stay ^Aadd9 She wasn't sure

^Am For when she thought of summer rain ^Gmadd11 Calling for her mind again ^Fmaj She lost the pain ^Aadd9 And stayed for more

^Am Gonna see the river man ^Gmadd11 Gonna tell him all I can ^Fmaj About the ban ^Aadd9 On feeling free ^Am If he tells me all he knows ^Gmadd11 'Bout the way his river flows ^Fmaj I don't suppose ^Aadd9 It's meant for me

^A7 Oh, how they come and g^Aadd9o ^A7 Oh... How they come, g^Aadd9o
