Which Way Does The River Run by Lennie Gallant




   Which Way Does The River Run 






Capo: 1st fret
 
 
[Intro]
F Am G
 
[Verse 1]
C
He came knocking on her window pane 
               Am
He said "Let me in, it's going to rain" 
C
They kissed and they watched the storm 
       Am
And they held each other to keep warm 
F
They'd just met that day 
Dm
He played guitar near the old cafe
C
She said she liked the Dylan song 
G
The one about movin' on 
 
[Verse 2]
C
All the way to Montreal, 
Am
When it got wet the car would stall 
C
He spoke a little high school French
Am
She laughed and she said it made no sense 
F
They went a little out of the way 
Dm
She had a friend out in Gaspe 
C
They slept there, on her hardwood floor 
G
And they make love some more
 
 
[Chorus]
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down 
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C
Hard to see into the sun 
Am
When they got back on the 401 
C
Seems every town had a tale to tell 
Am
And every street had dreams to sell 
F
She talked about her history 
Dm
Said she was one quarter Cree 
C
Her mother wouldn't let her know 
G
But her father said that it was so
 
[Chorus]
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down 
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down
 
 
F Am G Am x2
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
C
She said baby it would be the most 
Am
If we make it out to the western coast
C
We could dive in the ocean there 
Am
Then just turn around and head back here 
F
'Cause there's no place for you and me 
Dm
But I love this country 
C
The gas gauge was getting low 
G
When they left Ontario
 
[Chorus]
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down 
                     F
Which way does the river run 
              Am
Through this town 
                    C
Which way does the wind blow 
                   G
When the sun goes down
 
[Outro]
                     F
Which way does the river run
 
Am G Am
                    F
Which way does the wind blow
 
Am G Am
                    F
Which way does the river run
 
Am G Am
