[Verse 1]
Am                       Dm
Last night I lay in a restless bed,
    Bb                  E
A humdrum life pounding in my head.
     Am                    Dm
When out of the night came a mighty roar,
       Bb             Am
The river calling me back once more.
 
[Chorus]
 
  Am                     Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
  F                   E
I gotta go where the river goes.
  Am                Dm
Restless river wild and free,
   F                 E      Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                       Dm
Today I know your magic call,
  Bb                  E
Will lead me back to the canyon wall.
     Am                    Dm
And the music in your rapids roar,
            Bb             Am
Make this boatman's song from his soul outpour.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
 Am                     Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
  F                   E
I gotta go where the river goes.
  Am                Dm
Restless river wild and free,
   F                 E      Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am                       Dm
Tonight as on your banks I sleep,
 Bb                  E
Like a woman soft, you will sigh and weep.
   Am                    Dm
And I will dream of a sweet warm kiss,
            Bb             Am
And a moonlit stream and the love I miss.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Am                     Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
  F                   E
I gotta go where the river goes.
  Am                Dm
Restless river wild and free,
   F                 E      Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am                       Dm
Someday before I'm old and gray,
 Bb                  E
I'll find a woman who'll go my way.
        Am                    Dm
She'll take the rapids strong with me,
            Bb             Am
And she'll blend her voice in a song with me.
 
 
 
[Outro]
 Am                     Dm
My heart knows what the river knows,
  F                   E
I gotta go where the river goes.
  Am                Dm
Restless river wild and free,
   F                 E      Am
The lonely ones are you and me.
