Watching The River Flow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wha[G]t's the matter with me,
I don't have [C]much [G]to say,
Daylight sneakin' through
the win[A]dow
And I'm still in this all- night [D]cafe.
[G]Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks [C]are rollin' slow,
To [G]sit down on this bank [D]of sand
And watch the [G]river flow.

[Verse 2]
[G]
Wish I was back in the city
Instead of [C]this old bank of sand,
[G]With the sun beating down over
the chim[A]ney tops
And the one I love [D]so close at hand.
[G]If I had wings and I could fly,
[C]I know where I would go.
[G]But right now I'll just [D]sit
here so contentedly
And watch the [G]river [Gm]flow.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
People disagreeing on all just about everything,
[G]yeah,
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
[Em]Why only yesterday
I saw somebody on the street
[D]Who just couldn't help but cry.
[G]Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin',
though,
[C]No matter what gets in the way and
which way the wind does [G]blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit [D]here
And watch the [G]river flow.

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][A]
[D][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]People [D]dis[G]agr[D]eeing
everywhere you [G]look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
[Em]Why only yesterday I saw
somebody on the street
[D]That was really shook.
[G]But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
[C]No matter what gets in the way and
[G]which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit [D]here
And watch the river [G]flow.

[Verse 5]
Watch the [G]river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
Watchin' [C]the river flow,
But I'll [G]sit down on this [D]bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
