🎸 Verse 1:
   D MajorD       E minorEm      Em/DEm/D
just about a hundred years or so ago
    A/C#A/C#          C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
ten men rode their way down the mighty colorado
     D MajorD        E minorEm    Em/DEm/D
and as I read about their journey
      A/C#A/C#      C majorC      D MajorD
I couldn't help but feel a very similar yearning
    G+G    D MajorD  E minorEm  Em/DEm/D
to mr. powell
   A/C#A/C#    C majorC           D MajorD     E minorEm
and I wish that I could have been there with him
      Em/DEm/D       A/C#A/C#     Am/C   E minorEm
the way he talked about the river I could tell
    Em/DEm/D         A/C#A/C#      Am/C  E minorEm
the revelations he must have felt within himself
     Em/DEm/D     A/C#A/C#       Am/C     G+G
the realization of what man's supposed to do I feel it too

E minorEm  Em/DEm/D  A/C#A/C#  Am/C

🎸 Chorus:
       D4      Am7Am7
as they would ride over the waves
       D4       Am7Am7    G+G
as they would glide over the waves

🎸 Verse 2:
     D MajorD           E minorEm    Em/DEm/D
the river forged its way through canyons
   A/C#A/C#         C majorC           D MajorD    G+G
that were so high that the clouds would float within them
    D MajorD         E minorEm   Em/DEm/D
cascade fountains moss surrounded
  A/C#A/C#      C majorC       D MajorD
on through a gorge grand beyond description
       G+G   D MajorD E minorEm Em/DEm/D
and the river rolls
      A/C#A/C#     C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
and like a whirlpool it sets my mind to spinnin'
     Em/DEm/D  A/C#A/C#       Am/C  E minorEm
can you imagine walls that went so high
         Em/DEm/D        A/C#A/C#       Am/C  E minorEm
the sky would be nothing more than a single thin blue line
         Em/DEm/D     A/C#A/C#     Am/C
and rocks would rainbow their way up to the sky

🎸 Chorus:
       D4      Am7Am7
as they would ride over the waves
       D4       Am7Am7
as they would glide over the waves

🎸 Outro:
        G+G    D MajorD
you'd hear them singing, singing
