David Allan Coe - River guitar chord

River

written by M Yonts & David Allan Coe

performed by David Allan Coe

from the album The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy

D A7 D

River, you heard my first cry as a baby

G A D

And, like my Mom, you sang me lullabies

G A

You knew my fishing pole

D G

When I was eight years old

D A7 D

And, river, you never told me lies

A G D

(chorus) River, I can see you from my window

G A D

Your muddy water makes me feel alone

G A

River, you keep flowing

D G

Like you know just where you're going

D A7 D

But, river, will you ever take me home

River, I'm not proud of what I've done

Somehow my fishing pole became a gun

Through these prison bars I see

That you're still running free

But, river, I've got no place to run
