D                   A              D
River, you heard my first cry as a baby

     G                A            D
And, like my Mom, you sang me lullabies

G                     A
  You knew my fishing pole

     D                 G
When I was eight years old

     D          A             D
And, river, you never told me lies
[Chorus]
A              G               D
  River, I can see you from my window

G                  A              D
  Your muddy water makes me feel alone

G                 A
  River, you keep flowing

         D                      G
Like you know just where you're going

     D               A            D
But, river, will you ever take me home
[Verse 2]
D               A                  D
  River I'm not proud of what I've done

G                    A             D
  Somehow my fishing pole became a gun

              G
Through these prison bars 

  A        D                    G
I see that you're still running free

D         A                    D
But river I've got no place to run
[Chorus]
A             G               D
  River I can see you from my window

G                  A              D
  Your muddy water makes me feel alone

G                A
  River you keep flowing 

         D                      G
Like you know just where you're going

    D              A            D
But river will you ever take me home
[Outro]
A             G               D
  River I can see you from my window

G                  A              D
  Your muddy water makes me feel alone

G                A
  River you keep flowing 

         D                      G
Like you know just where you're going
