Let The River Keep The Time
(For John Hartford)
Picture Book Album
Banjo Tuned E, Key of D  Capo 3
 	 
 	    	 
   D
I can hear the sound

of your fiddle ring

and that whiskey song

you love to sing
 	 

I can see the light


as the voices dance

             G         D
your fiddle sounds to fine
              G        D
let the river keep the time

Instrumental:
 	 
 	 
  D
that whiskey song

that you love to sing

even though they say

you're too old to drink
 	 

the voice is weak

but the music's strong

as the river flow

into the dawning light

your fiddle sounds so fine
               G        D
let the river keep the time
