[Intro]
D G D A D
[Verse]
A D Well, it's not very far to Astoria's Bar G D A But a very long journey it can be D G You can start at the mouth of the mighty blue river D A D And end at the bottom of the sea
[Chorus]
A D And the River still shines and shimmers in the light G D A As it did in our grandfathers' day D G When they rowed all night and fished in the morning D A D And lived in Willapa Bay
[Instrumental]
A D G D A
D G D A D
[Verse]
A D When the tide is rough, so very, very rough G D A So rough that you cannot stand D G It'll drive the fish right into the nets D A D And the boats right into the sand
[Chorus]
A D And the River still shines and shimmers in the light G D A As it did in our grandfathers' day D G When they rowed all night and fished in the morning D A D And lived in Willapa Bay
[Instrumental]

D G D A D
[Verse]
A D In the mist and the rain, the labour and the pain G D A We know what the fishing here is worth D G It is worth all the gold, when they suck 'f#m from the hold D A D And worth all the treasures of the earth
[Chorus]
A D And the River still shines and shimmers in the light G D A As it did in our grandfathers' day D G When they rowed all night and fished in the morning D A D And lived in Willapa Bay
[Verse]
A D Now it's not very far to Astoria's Bar G D A But a very long journey it can be D G You can start at the mouth of the mighty blue river D A D And end at the bottom of the sea
[Chorus]
A D And the River still shines and shimmers in the light G D A As it did in our grandfathers' day D G When they rowed all night and fished in the morning D A D And lived in Willapa Bay G When they rowed all night and fished in the morning D A D And lived in Willapa Bay
