Love Like A River

My love   is like   a riv[Em]er,  [Em7]       [A]           [A7]
She just keeps on  rolling al[D]ong [Dsus2]
No man  ever can  keep that girl   from m[Em]oving[Em7] on  [A]      [A7]
Easy as she comes by,  easy as she's [D]gone[Dsus2]

Get down,  real down,  crying how   I love that girl,
She's as free as heaven   on  a breeze
Lay my  burden down,  down by   the river's edge,
There I learned to let my   lover be

             [Em7]                     [A7]

[organ solo + vocal background]

And don't you know I'd hold you (hold you, oh yeah)
If I could find a way, (oh yeah, oh yeah)
If I could only catch you, (oooh, catch you, oh yeah)
If you would only stay. (stay, stay)

And don't you know I want you, (want you, want you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, stay (stay, yeah)
If I could only love you, (love me)
But girl you keep on running away, running away, running away
Oooh no (yeah)

My love is like a riv[A7]er
