G           C                        G
Down at the bottom of that dirty old river

D                            C       G
Down where the reeds and the catfish play

G                     C           G
There lies a dream as soft as the water

G                            C      G
There lies a bluebird that's flown away

   G            C                              G
To meet is like springtime, to love's like the summer

D                          C        G
Her brown eyes shone for nobody but me

G                     C           G
In autumn forever the fool come a-fallin'

        G                       C         G
And the rain turned to freezing inside of me

     G         C                            G
I'll kindle my fires with the words I can't send you

        D                            C             G
And the roads I can't follow and the songs I can't sing

G                           C           G
I'll wander alone on the sleighbells of winter

         G                           C           G
With the stars for a diamond and the world for a ring

     G             C                     G
Well all you young ladies who dream of tomorrow

D                            C            G
While you're listening these words will I say:

G                       C           G
Cling to today with its joy and its sorrow

       G                           C           G
You'll need all your memories when youth melts away

     G          C                         G
The angel of springtime he rides down the south wind

D                       C             G
The angel of summer, he does just the same

    G                       C            G
The angel of autumn, she's blue and she's golden

        G                       C           G
And the angel of winter won't remember your name

G           C                        G
Down at the bottom of that dirty old river

D                            C       G
Down where the reeds and the catfish play

G                     C           G
There lies a dream as soft as the water

G                            C      G
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
