There is a   river called the river of no return; 
D5    F#5       B5      B5     G5        E5  G5  A5 
Sometimes it's peaceful,   and sometimes wild and free! 
D5      D5 D5              G5       E5  D5 
Love is  a  trav'ler on the river of no return, 
D5    F#5   B5   B5       A5        E5    A5  D5 
Swept on forever     to be lost in a stor - my sea. 

Bridge: 
A5     D5   F#5       E5      A5     D5             
Wail-a-ree     I can hear the river call (no return, no return) 
 A5       G5       E5     D5 
Where the roarin' waters fall,  
A5      D5  F#5      B5           B5         E5     A5 
Wail-a-ree    I can hear my lover call, "Come to me" 
 
 
A5 G5   A5  D5     D5  D5           G5        E5        D5 
I lost my love on the  river, and forever my heart will yearn; 
D5     F#5    B5   B5         E5     G5 A5      D5 
Gone, gone forever    down the river of no re - turn. 
A5      D5   D5       B5   B5  B5  
Wail-a-ree     wail-a-ree 
       G5    G5  E5  A5 D5    D5  D5 D5    D5  D5 D5    D5  D5 D5 
You'll never re - turn to me! (no return, no return, no return)
