RIVER BY YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND

^GThe river rolls and^Em the river winds And it ^Cseems to do ^Gsomething for my ^Dpeace of mind ^GThough I didn't know it, I came here ^Emlooking to find A place to ^Cforget about my ^Dtroubles for awhile

I saw a ^Dmother with her ^Glittle baby when I was ^Cwalking here There's ^Dsomething 'bout a little ^Gbaby that makes me ^Claugh ^DThey don't seem to ^Ghave a care And I ^Cwonder if I'm ever gonna ^Emfeel that way ^Dagain Until then, I'll find some ^Ctime to ^Dspend down by the ^Griver

Then this repeats for the other verses I spend a lot of time looking forward Looking back and looking down at my feet upon the ground I fell backwards and when I opened my eyes I found myself staring straight up in the sky And it seemed like there was something there to learn When I realized I had nowhere else to be And the only sound that mattered was the wind that blowed so gentle through the trees Such a harmony down by the river Well I heard music, it was soft and clear And I sang out for the first time, I didn't care who would hear Because I found my answers in the wind and waves And the magic in the little things that happen every day And I played that tune on my old mandolin And I didn't hurt at all for company tabbeb by matt
