That Song About The River by The Kingston Trio
That Song About The River
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Fm7 Eb Bb Eb
[Verse]
Eb
I have seen the paddle wheelers
Ab Cm
Rolling south on a summers' day
Fm7 Bb
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
Ab Bb Eb
With stars in their lemonade
[Verse]
Eb
And I've heard the hobo's gather
Ab Cm
Heard their banjo's brace the blade
Fm7 Bb
Heard them sing about the river
Ab Bb Eb
Called it the lazy man's parade
[Chorus]
Eb
Sing me that song about the river
Ab Cm
Green going away
Fm7 Eb
I always did feel like a drifter
Bb Eb
'Bout this time of day
[Instrumental]
Fm7 Eb Bb Eb
[Verse]
Eb
Last night I stood by the highway
Ab Cm
Pretended I was on my way
Fm7 Bb
You know a hundred thousand headlights
Ab Bb Eb
Couldn't match the milky way
[Verse]
Eb
And when the moonlight touches the water
Ab Cm
Surely something touches me
Fm7 Bb
And I go reaching for the river
Ab Bb Eb
Like it's reaching for the sea
[Chorus]
Eb
Sing me that song about the river
Ab Cm
Green going away
Fm7 Eb
I always did feel like a drifter
Bb Eb
'Bout this time of day
[Bridge]
Ab Db
Some things go on forever
Bbm Ab Eb
The truth don't ever stray
Fm7 Eb
The wind may brush the water
Fm7 Bb
But the river won't persuade
[Chorus]
Eb
So, Sing me that song about the river
Ab Cm
Green going away
Fm7 Eb
I always did feel like a drifter
Bb Eb
'Bout this time of day
Fm7 Eb
Yes, I always did feel like a drifter
Bb Eb
About this time of day
