 D              F#m
The river flows, it flows to the sea
 G              G G/F# Em               A
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
  D Dsus4    D                           Dsus4
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
               D           Em  Asus4 A       D  Dsus4 D
Take me from this road to some       other town

All he wanted was to be free
And that's the way it turned out to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

BRIDGE:
 D                               Dsus4
Flow river flow, past the shady trees
          D                Dsus4
Go river go, go to the sea
 Em Asus4 A      D
Flow      to the sea

The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever it goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
