The Kingston Trio - That song about the river

^EbI have seen the paddle wheelers Rolling ^Absouth on a summers' da^Cmy I've seen the ^Fm7lovers at the ^Bbguardrails With ^Abstars in their ^Bblemon^Ebade

^EbAnd I've heard the hobo's gather Heard their ^Abbanjo's brace the ^Cmblade Heard them ^Fm7sing about the ^Bbriver Called it the ^Ablazy ^Bbman's pa^Ebrade

^EbSing me that song about the river ^AbGreen going a^Cmway I ^Fm7always did feel like a ^Ebdrifter 'Bout this^Bb time of ^Ebday

^EbLast night I stood by the highway Pre^Abtended I was on my ^Cmway You know a ^Fm7hundred thousand ^Bbheadlights Couldn't ^Abmatch the ^Bbmilky ^Ebway

^EbAnd when the moonlight touches the water Surely ^Absomething touches ^Cmme And I go ^Fm7reaching for the ^Bbriver Like it's ^Abreaching ^Bbfor the ^Ebsea

^EbSing me that song about the river ^AbGreen going a^Cmway I ^Fm7always did feel like a ^Ebdrifter 'Bout this^Bb time of ^Ebday

Some^Ab things go on for^Dbever The ^Bbmtruth don't ever ^Abstra^Eby The ^Fm7wind may brush the ^Ebwater But the ^Fm7river won't per^Bbsuade

So, Sing me that ^Ebsong about the river ^AbGreen going a^Cmway I ^Fm7always did feel like a ^Ebdrifter 'Bout this^Bb time of ^Ebday Yes, I ^Fm7always did feel like a ^Ebdrifter About this^Bb time of ^Ebday
