WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW- Bob Dylan

E A

What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say

E F#

Daylight's sneaking' through the window

B

And I'm still in this all night cafe

E

Walking to and fro beneath the moon

A

Out to where the trucks are rolling slow

E B E E/B E/Bb E/A E/F# B7

Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand

With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops

And the one I love so close at hand

If I had wings then I could fly, I know where I would go

But right now I just sit here so contentedly

And watch the river flow

BRIDGE #1:

B

People disagreein' on just about everything, yep

E

Makes you stop and wonder why

C#m F#

Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street

B

Who just couldn't help but cry

CHORUS:

E

Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though

A

No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow

E B

And as long as it does I just sit here

E E/B E/Bb E/A E/F# B7

And watch the river flow

BRIDGE #2:

People disagreein' everywhere you look

Makes you want to stop and read a book

Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street

That was a-really shook ...CHORUS

A E A E A

Watch the river flow, watching the river flow

E A

Watching the river flow

E B

Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand

E E/B E/Bb E/A E E7

And watch the river flow

NOTE: I may be weak on some of the blues turn arounds but I'm too lazy

to explain them in detail. Sorry...
