Verse:
   FF            Bb majorBb   FF
I was born in the path of the winter wind
         G minorGm      C majorC
Raised where the mountains are old
   FF           Bb majorBb   FF
Their springtime waters came dancing down
        C majorC     FF
I remember the tales they told

Verse:
             Bb majorBb   FF
The whistling ways of my younger days
         G minorGm    C majorC
Too quickly have faded on by
  FF         Bb majorBb   FF
But all their memories linger on
          C majorC   FF
Like the light in a fading sky

Chorus:
  A minorAm Bb majorBb    C majorC
River take me along
    FF A minorAm   Bb majorBb    C majorC
In your sunshine, sing me a song
   Bb majorBb     C majorC      FF
Ever moving and winding and free
  Bb majorBb     FF     Bb majorBb      FF
You rolling old river, you changing old river
   Bb majorBb     C majorC           Bb majorBb   FF
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

            G minorGm        C majorC
I've been moved by some things that I've learned
   FF           Bb majorBb     FF
Met a lot of good people and called them friends
             C majorC    FF
Felt the change when the seasons turned

Verse:
                 Bb majorBb    FF
I've heard all the songs that the children sing
           G minorGm     C majorC
And I've listened to love's melodies
   FF           Bb majorBb  FF
I've felt my own music within me rise
           C majorC   FF
Like the wind in the autumn trees

Verse:
               Bb majorBb    FF
Some day when the flowers are blooming still
         G minorGm       C majorC
Some day when the grass is still green
  FF          Bb majorBb    FF
My rolling waters will round the bend
         C majorC  FF
And flow into the open sea

Verse:
                Bb majorBb     FF
So here's to the rainbows that followed me here
         G minorGm        C majorC
And here's to the friends that I've known
  FF               Bb majorBb  FF
And here's to the song that's within me now
          C majorC   FF
I will sing it where'er I go
