[Intro]
G
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
G All the weekend warriors touching down D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Leaving a black stain on this sacred ground G Ready and willing to feel wild D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Even the traffic's sings in tune, in perfect time
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Makes you feel like the wind is at your back B C Pushing the train to jump the track Cm Racing the night line, never slowing down
[Chorus]
D C (Oh, oh) G They're all going downtown where the water goes D C (Oh, oh) G Singing nobody knows what the weather knows D C You had a good long run like the river man done G Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun F C I guess nobody told you how it goes G Who knows what the river man knows D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
G All of the drifters sleeping in D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Rivеr man ties his shoes, he's clocking in G Swingеrs and tough guys leave when the bell rings D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Sundays at high tide and all the line are fraying
[Pre-Chorus]
Em B You can pull up a chair and wear your beads C Dance in the moonlit Fleur-de-Lis Cm And curse the morning while the rivers sing
[Chorus]
D C (Oh, oh) G They're all going downtown where the water goes D C (Oh, oh) G Singing nobody knows what the weather knows D C You had a good long run like the river man done G Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun F C I guess nobody told you how it goes G Who knows what the river man knows
