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
