Chords

[Intro] Fm7 Eb Bb Eb [Verse]
Eb
I have seen the paddle wheelers

        Ab                    Cm
Rolling south on a summers' day

              Fm7           Bb
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails

     Ab             Bb   Eb
With stars in their lemonade
[Verse]
Eb
And I've heard the hobo's gather

            Ab                Cm
Heard their banjo's brace the blade

           Fm7            Bb
Heard them sing about the river

              Ab   Bb      Eb
Called it the lazy man's parade
[Chorus]
Eb
Sing me that song about the river

Ab           Cm
Green going away

  Fm7                    Eb
I always did feel like a drifter

          Bb       Eb
'Bout this time of day
[Instrumental] Fm7 Eb Bb Eb [Verse]
Eb
Last night I stood by the highway

   Ab                 Cm
Pretended I was on my way

           Fm7              Bb
You know a hundred thousand headlights

         Ab        Bb    Eb
Couldn't match the milky way
[Verse]
Eb
And when the moonlight touches the water

       Ab                Cm
Surely something touches me

         Fm7              Bb
And I go reaching for the river

          Ab       Bb      Eb
Like it's reaching for the sea
[Chorus]
Eb
Sing me that song about the river

Ab           Cm
Green going away

  Fm7                    Eb
I always did feel like a drifter

          Bb       Eb
'Bout this time of day
[Bridge]
    Ab               Db
Some things go on forever

    Bbm              Ab  Eb
The truth don't ever stray

    Fm7                Eb
The wind may brush the water

        Fm7            Bb
But the river won't persuade
[Chorus]
                 Eb
So, Sing me that song about the river

Ab           Cm
Green going away

  Fm7                    Eb
I always did feel like a drifter

          Bb       Eb
'Bout this time of day

       Fm7                    Eb
Yes, I always did feel like a drifter

          Bb       Eb
About this time of day
