The Kingston Trio – River (Guitar)

      F                       Bb     F
I was born in the path of the winter wind

                 Gm            C
Raised where the mountains are old

      F                      Bb      F
Their springtime waters came dancing down

               C          F
I remember the tales they told

                         Bb      F
The whistling ways of my younger days

                 Gm       C
Too quickly have faded on by

    F                  Bb     F
But all their memories linger on

                    C      F
Like the light in a fading sky

   Am Bb       C
River take me along

        F  Am     Bb        C
In your sunshine, sing me a song

     Bb         C           F
Ever moving and winding and free

    Bb          F          Bb           F
You rolling old river, you changing old river

      Bb          C                      Bb     F
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

                               Bb         F
I've been to the city and I've been back again

                        Gm               C
I've been moved by some things that I've learned

      F                      Bb          F
Met a lot of good people and called them friends

                         C       F
Felt the change when the seasons turned

                                  Bb       F
I've heard all the songs that the children sing

                     Gm         C
And I've listened to love's melodies

     F                     Bb    F
I've felt my own music within me rise

                     C      F
Like the wind in the autumn trees

   Am Bb       C
River take me along

        F  Am     Bb        C
In your sunshine, sing me a song

     Bb         C           F
Ever moving and winding and free

    Bb          F          Bb           F
You rolling old river, you changing old river

      Bb          C                      Bb     F
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

                              Bb       F
Some day when the flowers are blooming still

                  Gm             C
Some day when the grass is still green

   F                   Bb        F
My rolling waters will round the bend

                  C    F
And flow into the open sea

                               Bb          F
So here's to the rainbows that followed me here

                  Gm                C
And here's to the friends that I've known

    F                             Bb    F
And here's to the song that's within me now

                   C      F
I will sing it where'er I go

   Am Bb       C
River take me along

        F  Am     Bb        C
In your sunshine, sing me a song

     Bb         C           F
Ever moving and winding and free

    Bb          F          Bb           F
You rolling old river, you changing old river

      Bb          C                      Bb     F
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

    F  Am Bb       C
Oh, river take me along

        F  Am     Bb        C
In your sunshine, sing me a song

     Bb         C           F
Ever moving and winding and free

    Bb          F          Bb           F
You rolling old river, you changing old river

      Bb          C                      Bb F Bb F Bb   F
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea.......
