Subject: watching the river flow- bob dylan
TUNING: E B E G# B E
A E A TURNAROUND 1
A D What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say A B Daylight's sneaking' through the window E And I'm still in this all night cafe A Walking to and fro beneath the moon D Out to where the trucks are rolling slow A E A TURNAROUND 2 Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow
Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand
With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand
If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go
But right now I just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow TURNAROUND 3
BRIDGE #1:
E People disagreein' on just about everything, yep A Makes you stop and wonder why F#m B Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street E Who just couldn't help but cry
CHORUS:
A Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though D No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow A E And as long as it does I just sit here
A TURNAROUND 1 (1ST TIME, 2ND TIME TO OUTRO)
And watch the river flow
SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS, END WITH TURNAROUND 3)
BRIDGE #2:
People disagreein' everywhere you look
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was a-really shook ...CHORUS
OUTRO:
D A D A D Watch the river flow, watching the river flow A D Watching the river flow A E Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand
A TURNAROUND 1, BUT END ON A7
And watch the river flow
