The Kingston Trio - River

I was ^Fborn in the path of the ^Bbwinter ^Fwind Raised where the ^Gmmountains are ^Cold Their ^Fspringtime waters came ^Bbdancing ^Fdown I remember the ^Ctales they ^Ftold

The whistling ways of my ^Bbyounger ^Fdays Too quickly have ^Gmfaded on ^Cby But ^Fall their memories ^Bblinger ^Fon Like the light in a ^Cfading ^Fsky

Riv^Amer ^Bbtake me a^Clong In your ^Fsun^Amshine, ^Bbsing me a ^Csong Ever ^Bbmoving and ^Cwinding and ^Ffree You ^Bbrolling old ^Friver, you ^Bbchanging old ^Friver Let's ^Bbyou and me, ^Criver, run down to the ^Bbsea ^F

I've been to the city and I've ^Bbbeen back a^Fgain I've been moved by some ^Gmthings that I've ^Clearned Met a ^Flot of good people and ^Bbcalled them ^Ffriends Felt the change when the ^Cseasons ^Fturned

I've heard all the songs that the ^Bbchildren ^Fsing And I've listened to ^Gmlove's melo^Cdies I've ^Ffelt my own music with^Bbin me ^Frise Like the wind in the ^Cautumn ^Ftrees

Riv^Amer ^Bbtake me a^Clong In your ^Fsun^Amshine, ^Bbsing me a ^Csong Ever ^Bbmoving and ^Cwinding and ^Ffree You ^Bbrolling old ^Friver, you ^Bbchanging old ^Friver Let's ^Bbyou and me, ^Criver, run down to the ^Bbsea ^F

Some day when the flowers are ^Bbblooming ^Fstill Some day when the ^Gmgrass is still ^Cgreen My ^Frolling waters will ^Bbround the ^Fbend And flow into the ^Copen ^Fsea

So here's to the rainbows that ^Bbfollowed me ^Fhere And here's to the ^Gmfriends that I've ^Cknown And ^Fhere's to the song that's with^Bbin me ^Fnow I will sing it wher^Ce'er I ^Fgo

Riv^Amer ^Bbtake me a^Clong In your ^Fsun^Amshine, ^Bbsing me a ^Csong Ever ^Bbmoving and ^Cwinding and ^Ffree You ^Bbrolling old ^Friver, you ^Bbchanging old ^Friver Let's ^Bbyou and me, ^Criver, run down to the ^Bbsea ^F

Oh, ^Friv^Amer ^Bbtake me a^Clong In your ^Fsun^Amshine, ^Bbsing me a ^Csong Ever ^Bbmoving and ^Cwinding and ^Ffree You ^Bbrolling old ^Friver, you ^Bbchanging old ^Friver Let's ^Bbyou and me, ^Criver, run down to the ^Bbsea^F..^Bb...^F..^{Bb F}
