Tom Rush River Song written by Tom Rush
Tom Rush vocals/acoustic guitar
Marc Cohen harmony
Shawn Colvin harmony
F C
The gypsies know my future
F Bb
The angels know my past
F
I roll around this big wide world
C
To find a love to last
F C
I'm weary from my wandering
F Bb
Lord I'm wounded in a war
F
I'll lay me low where the willows grow
C7
Listen to that river song
F
River runs by my window
Bb F
River runs by my door
Bb F
River runs so sweet
Bb F
Might never roam no more
Bb F Bb F
Might never roam no more
F C
I've seen the stars falling on the mountains
F Bb
I've seen the moon rising from the sea
Bb F
I never ever saw a sight so sweet
C
As that woman in my arms asleep
F C
They say that honey heals the body
F Bb
They say that music can soothe the soul
F
I've learned the heart has reasons
C7
That reason can not know
F
River runs by my window
Bb F
River runs by my door
Bb F
River runs so sweet
Bb F
Might never roam no more
Bb Dm Am C Dm Am C F
Might never roam no more
F C
I don't know where that river roams
F Bb
But she goes around the bend
F
Just might roll around the great wide world
C7
Come on home again
F
River runs by my window
Bb F
River runs by my door
Bb F
River runs so sweet
Bb F
Might never roam no more
Bb F Bb F
Might never roam no more
