🎸 Verse :
Eb MajorEb
I have seen the paddle wheelers
    AbAb          C minorCm
Rolling south on a summers' day
       Fm7Fm7      Bb majorBb
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
   AbAb       Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
With stars in their lemonade

🎸 Verse :
Eb MajorEb
And I've heard the hobo's gather
      AbAb        C minorCm
Heard their banjo's brace the blade
      Fm7Fm7       Bb majorBb
Heard them sing about the river
       AbAb  Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Called it the lazy man's parade

🎸 Chorus:
Eb MajorEb
Sing me that song about the river
AbAb      C minorCm
Green going away

'Bout this time of day

Eb MajorEb
Last night I stood by the highway
  AbAb         C minorCm
Pretended I was on my way
      Fm7Fm7        Bb majorBb
You know a hundred thousand headlights
     AbAb    Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Couldn't match the milky way

🎸 Verse :
Eb MajorEb
And when the moonlight touches the water
    AbAb        C minorCm
Surely something touches me

And I go reaching for the river
     AbAb    Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Like it's reaching for the sea

Sing me that song about the river

The wind may brush the water
    Fm7Fm7       Bb majorBb
But the river won't persuade

About this time of day
