Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Bb  F  Bb  F  Bb  F  C

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

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

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

Verse:
                               Bb         F
I've been to the city and I've been back again
                        Gm               C
I've been moved by some things that I've learned
      F                      Bb          F
Met a lot of good people and called them friends
                         C       F
Felt the change when the seasons turned

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

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

Verse:
                              Bb       F
Some day when the flowers are blooming still
                  Gm             C
Some day when the grass is still green
   F                   Bb        F
My rolling waters will round the bend
                  C    F
And flow into the open sea

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

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

Chorus:
    F  Am Bb       C
Oh, river take me along
        F  Am     Bb        C
In your sunshine, sing me a song
     Bb         C           F
Ever moving and winding and free
    Bb          F          Bb           F
You rolling old river, you changing old river
      Bb          C                      Bb F Bb F Bb   F
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea.......
