Roll Down The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You[G] ke[D]ep[Am][D]
looking out my win[G]dow
[D]At the driftwood floating by
Like a flock [C]of bird[G]s in [D]falltime
You're just itching to [G]fly
[D]I k[C]now I cannot[E] hol[Am]d you
[G]Cause you live life to [D]the hilt
[B]So go on get out of here girl
[E]I don't want your guilt.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Go on and ro[Em]ll down your r[Am]iver Babe
[E]I'll bet[Am] you'll make that muddy
wa[E]ter [Am]churn
[Dm]You've earned every scar
[F]Tha[C]t you brought with
[Am]you Baby
[F]But there's one lesson that
you'll never [E]learn.
[F]What goes down that [E]river
don't re[A]turn.
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
I remember when you washed
up on my [Am]doorstep[A]
You had a [D]dirty face,
a damp dress [C]and a dream[G][C]
[D]But now you're just a fish
out of [C]the water, [Am]Baby
[F]It's time to throw you back
into [E]the stream.

[Verse 4]
So [Am]go on and r[E]oll do[Em]wn your ri[Am]ver Ba[E]be
I'll [Am]bet you'll make that [Em]muddy
water [Am]churn[C]
[Dm]You've earned every scar
[F]That you bro[C]ught with you[Am] Baby
But [F]there's one lesson that
you'll never [E]learn.
[F]What goes down that [E]river
don't re[A]turn.
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Now don't you bleed on me
about all our [A]good [Am]times
[A]Don't tel[D]l me that you'll
never be [C]the same
[D]Don't tell me anything
[C]but goodbye [F]Baby
More than that would be
just [E]another game.

[Verse 6]
So [Am]go on and r[E]oll do[Em]wn your ri[Am]ver Ba[E]be
I'll [Am]bet you'll make that [Em]muddy
[Am]water [C]churn
[Dm]You've earned every scar
[F]That [C]you brought with [Am]you Baby
But [F]there's one lesson that
you'll never [E]learn.
[F]What goes down that [E]river
don't [D]re turn.

[Verse 7]
[D]You leave me with a month of your
sweet [A]madness[D]
You leave me with your music in my [C]head
[Am]You leav[D]e me with the mystery
of the [C]river rolling
[E]You lea[F]ve me with a desert for my [E]bed.

[Verse 8]
So [Am]go on and r[E]oll do[Em]wn your ri[Am]ver Babe
[E]I'll bet[Am] you'll make that
[E]muddy wa[Em]ter [Am]churn
[C]You've [Dm]earned every scar[F]
That [C]you brought with [Am]you Baby
But [F]there's one lesson that
you'll nev[E]er learn.
[F]What goes down that [E]river don't re[A]turn.
