Roger Whittaker - River lady

The day the river ^Am7freezes, is the ^Dmday it won't seem fair, 'Cause they'll ^Fcome to get the ^Dm7River Lady, and ^AmI don't think they'll ^Ccare. I know they'll scrape her ^Am7paint off, in their ^Dmsame old foolish ways, Now the ^Fpeople see the ^Dm7river, but the ^Amold ships gone ^Caway.

Water turns ^Fcold and gets a ^Emfreezin', before you even ^Cknow it, the old girl's ^Ameasin', Away from her ^Emberth, round by the ^Ampoint and out of our ^Fview. Off in the mist, her engine's ^Empoundin' like on the ^Cbanks, that old horn's ^Amsoundin', A little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Amdo what I must ^Fdo; A little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Fdo what I must ^Cdo.

I know I will re^Am7member, when I ca^Dmnnot hear that horn, That would ^Froll up by the ^Dm7mountains, as she ^Amtook us through the ^Cstorm. I know they've got to ^Am7take her, but I ^Dmcan't say I approve, 'Cause she's ^Fwon so many ^Dm7battles, that I ^Amhate, to see her ^Close.

Water turns ^Fcold and gets a ^Emfreezin', before you even ^Cknow it, the old girl's ^Ameasin', Away from her ^Emberth, round by the ^Ampoint and out of our ^Fview. A little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Amdo what I must ^Fdo; a little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Fdo what I must ^Cdo.

Off in the ^Emmist, her engine's ^Ampoundin' like on the ^Cbanks, that old horn's ^Amsoundin', A little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Fdo what I must ^Amdo, A little good^Embye, a little I'll ^Fdo what I must ^Cdo.
