While ^Fwalking on the bank of the wild wild river, just ^Gmlosing the day ^C An old ^Cman appeared, I ^Gmwas afeard and started ^Ebmoving away He said: 'I ^Fmean you no harm' â And his voice it was calming to my ^Gmtroubled mind ^C He went ^Con and said: '^GmSon, boy don't you runaway ^Ebblind'

CHORUS

From the very first ^Fcry,^Gm very first ^Fcry ^Gm From the very first ^Fcry,^Gm it ^Ccomes

VERSE

So I ^Fstopped and I turned, he looked at me eyes holding ^Gmgentle concern ^C 'Take the ^Cheat off your brow, please, ^Gmsuffer an old man's ^Ebtongue' 'Cause if you ^Fworry your life then like the wild wild river, Itâ^Gmll never stay long^C Unlike ^Cwinters go round and ^Gmsummers go south and it's ^Eb... gone

CHORUS

From the very first ^Fcry,^Gm very first ^Fcry ^Gm Like the very first ^Fcry,^Gm it ^Ccomes The long goodby-i-y-^Bbye, yeah

Well, I ^Flost myself down by the wild wild river and ^Gmpondered upon ^CWhat was meant by ^Gmwho was sent but ^Ebnow was gone On re^Fflection it seems, simple naive in the ^Gmface of despair ^C But if I'm ^Closing my way, then ^Gmhelp me to climb that ^Ebstair

CHORUS

From the very first ^Fcry,^Gm very first ^Fcry ^Gm From the very first ^Fcry,^Gm it ^Ccomes The long goodby-i-y-^Bbye
