[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Am][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I can close my eyes and [G]it
takes me [Am]back
To [C]two young lovers on that [F]riverbank
To the [C]sounds of the wind
and the whip-[G]poor-will
And [Am]And And the [C]way that your
bare skin would [F]feel
As we [C]laid in the sun I could [G]see your [Am]eyes
[C]Blue as the blue in that [G]Southern [F]sky
[C]Kisses warm as a [G]wild red [Am]rose
At [C]the bend in the river where the
[G]cottonwood [C]grows

[Verse 2]
And [F]we'd dance[G]
[C]And [F]we'd sing[G]
And [C]we'd love [F]each other
as the [G]pale moon [Am]glows
At [C]the bend in the river where the
[G]cottonwood [Am]grows
[C]At the bend in the river where the [G]cottonwood [C]grows
[Am][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][C][G][F]
[C][G][Am][C][G][Am][C]

[Verse 3]
I can [C]still recall [G]the word
s you [Am]said
[C]And the plans we dreamed
as we [G]looked [F]ahead
But the [C]fork in the river
took us [G]separate [Am]ways
As the [C]years went by, I
can't forget those [F]days
And I of[C]ten wonder but I'll [G]never [Am]know
If we [C]ended up following a
different [F]road
[C]Would we still be laying
by the [G]wild red [Am]rose?
At [C]the bend in the river where the
[G]cottonwood [C]grows
[F]And we'd dance

[Verse 4]
[G]
[C]And[F] we'd sing[G]
[F]And we'd love each other
as the [G]pale moon [Am]glows
At [C]the bend in the river where the
[G]cottonwood [Am]grows
[C]At the bend in the river where the
[G]cottonwood [C]grows

[Verse 5]
[C]
I can close my eyes and it [G]takes me [Am]back
To [C]two young lovers [G]on [F]that riverbank
