Watching The River Flow

TUNING: E B E G# B E 
 
A E A TURNAROUND 1 
 
A D 
What‘s the matter with me? I don‘t have much to say 
A B 
Daylight‘s sneaking‘ through the window 
E 
And I‘m still in this all night cafe 
A 
Walking to and fro beneath the moon 
D 
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow 
A E A TURNAROUND 2 
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 and I could fly, I know where I would go 
But right now I just sit here so contentedly 
And watch the river flow TURNAROUND 3 
 
BRIDGE #1: 
E 
People disagreein‘ on just about everything, yep 
A 
Makes you stop and wonder why 
F#m B 
Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street 
E 
Who just couldn‘t help but cry 
 
CHORUS: 
A 
Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin‘ though 
D 
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow 
A E 
And as long as it does I just sit here 
A TURNAROUND 1 (1ST TIME, 2ND TIME TO OUTRO) 
And watch the river flow 
 
SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS, END WITH TURNAROUND 3) 
 
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 
 
OUTRO: 
D A D A D 
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow 
A D 
Watching the river flow 
A E 
Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand 
A TURNAROUND 1, BUT END ON A7 
And watch the river flow
