Chords

As recorded by Deep Purple (From the 2021 Album TURNING TO CRIME) [Intro] B A E [Verse 1]
E
What’s the matter with me

  A
I don’t have much to say

E                             F#7
Daylight sneaking through the window

                      B
And I’m still in this all-night café
[Chorus]
               E
Walking to and fro beneath the moon

                 A
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow

       E                    B
To sit down on this bank of sand

              E
And watch the river flow
[Verse 2]
E
Well, wish I was back in the city

                A
Instead of this old bank of sand

         E                         F#7
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops

        B
And the true love so close at hand
[Chorus]
         E
If I had wings and I could fly

  A
I know where I would go

          E                         B
But right now I’ll just sit here contentedly

          E
And watch the river flow
[Bridge]
B
People disagreeing on all just about everything

E
Makes you stop and all wonder why

   F#7
Oh yesterday I saw somеbody on the street

         B
Who just couldn’t help but cry
[Chorus]
    E
Oh, this old river keeps on rolling, though

A
Whatever way the wind does blow

E             B                  E
I’ll just sit here and watch the river flow
[Keyboard Solo] B E F#7 B [Guitar Solo] E A E B E [Bridge]
B
People disagreeing everywhere you look

          E
Makes you wanna stop and read a book

     F#7
Only yesterday I saw somebody on the street

        B
That was really shook
[Chorus]
    E
But this old river keeps on rolling on

    A
Whatever way the wind does blow

       E                         B
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here

          E
And watch the river flow

                                 B
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here

              E          A  E  B  E
And watch the river flow
[Outro] F# B E F# B E Am E Am E
