F5                   C5  
The gypsies know my future 
F5                  Bb5 
The angels know my past 
                   F5 
I roll around this big wide world 
   C5 
To find a love to last 
F5                 C5 
I'm weary from my wandering 
F5                     Bb5 
Lord I'm wounded in a war 
                          F5 
I'll lay me low where the willows grow 
C5 
Listen to that river song 
F5 
River runs by my window 
Bb5               F5 
River runs by my door 
Bb5            F5 
River runs so sweet 
Bb5                  F5     
Might never roam no more 
Bb5                  F5  Bb5  F5              
Might never roam no more 
F5                                  C5 
I've seen the stars falling on the mountains 
              F5                    Bb5 
I've seen the moon rising from the sea 
Bb5                 F5 
I never ever saw a sight so sweet 
        C5 
As that woman in my arms asleep 
              F5                C5 
They say that honey heals the  body 
              F5                    Bb5 
They say that music can soothe the soul 
                           F5                   
I've learned the heart has reasons 
C5 
That reason can not know 
F5 
River runs by my window 
Bb5               F5 
River runs by my door 
Bb5            F5 
River runs so sweet 
Bb5                  F5     
Might never roam no more 
Bb5                  D5   A5 C5   D5  A5  C5  F5              
Might never roam no more 
F5                       C5  
I don't know where that river roams 
F5                       Bb5 
But she goes around the bend 
                            F5                           
Just might roll around the  great wide world  
C5 
Come on home again 
F5 
River runs by my window 
Bb5               F5 
River runs by my door 
Bb5            F5 
River runs so sweet 
Bb5                  F5     
Might never roam no more 
Bb5                  F5  Bb5  F5              
Might never roam no more
