Verse
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Well, it's not very far to Astoria's Bar
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA
But a very long journey it can be
    D MajorD             G+G
You can start at the mouth of the mighty blue river
  D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And end at the bottom of the sea

    A augmentedA           D MajorD
And the River still shines and shimmers in the light
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA
As it did in our grandfathers' day
     D MajorD          G+G
When they rowed all night and fished in the morning
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD
And lived in Willapa Bay

Instrumental
A augmentedA  D MajorD  G+G D MajorD A augmentedA

Verse
     A augmentedA         D MajorD
When the tide is rough, so very, very rough
  G+G       D MajorD   A augmentedA
So rough that you cannot stand
   D MajorD          G+G
It'll drive the fish right into the nets
    D MajorD      A augmentedA    D MajorD
And the boats right into the sand

    A augmentedA           D MajorD
And the River still shines and shimmers in the light
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA
As it did in our grandfathers' day
     D MajorD          G+G
When they rowed all night and fished in the morning
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD
And lived in Willapa Bay

Verse
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
In the mist and the rain, the labour and the pain
  G+G       D MajorD        A augmentedA
We know what the fishing here is worth
   D MajorD               G+G
It is worth all the gold, when they suck 'f#m from the hold
  D MajorD       A augmentedA        D MajorD
And worth all the treasures of the earth

    A augmentedA           D MajorD
And the River still shines and shimmers in the light
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA
As it did in our grandfathers' day
     D MajorD          G+G
When they rowed all night and fished in the morning
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD
And lived in Willapa Bay
