River

[G]The river rolls and[Em] the river winds
And it [C]seems to do [G]something for my [D]peace of mind
[G]Though I didn't know it, I came here [Em]looking to find
A place to [C]forget about my [D]troubles for awhile

I saw a [D]mother with her [G]little baby when I was [C]walking here
There's [D]something 'bout a little [G]baby that makes me [C]laugh
[D]They don't seem to [G]have a care
And I [C]wonder if I'm ever gonna [Em]feel that way [D]again
Until then, I'll find some [C]time to [D]spend down by the [G]river

      Then this repeats for the other verses

I spend a lot of time looking forward
Looking back and looking down at my feet upon the ground
I fell backwards and when I opened my eyes
I found myself staring straight up in the sky
And it seemed like there was something there to learn
When I realized I had nowhere else to be
And the only sound that mattered was the wind that blowed so gentle through the trees

Such a harmony down by the river

Well I heard music, it was soft and clear
And I sang out for the first time, I didn't care who would hear
Because I found my answers in the wind and waves
And the magic in the little things that happen every day
And I played that tune on my old mandolin
And I didn't hurt at all for company
