Cm                                      Fm
Life is like a river that runs to eternity

    Cm                 Fm                    Ab      Cm
And all must ride that river honey just like you and me

                                                     Fm
It's sometimes rough and muddy with rapids along the way

    Cm               Fm          G        Ab         Cm
For some the trip is shorter but all must have their day
[Chorus]
Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me

                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see

          Cm                                                   Fm
There's a dark and muddy current that can sweep your boat from sight

       Cm                 Fm                   G        Ab      Cm
If you pass that point of no return, there's a dark and endless night

                                                       Fm
There's also a mighty boatman and he's out there every day

     Cm               Fm                   G      Ab      Cm
Just put your life in his hands and you're safely on your way
[Chorus]
Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me

                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see

[Verse 3]
      Cm                                                Fm
We've rode this raging river when the banks were cavin' in

         Cm                 Fm              G      Ab     Cm
When the storms have almost beaten us we've always tried again

                                              Fm
Let's keep the faith together encouraging our friends

  Cm                Fm             G         Ab    Cm
Until we reach that crystal sea of life that never ends
[Chorus]
Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me

                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see
