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

🎸 Break:

🎸 Solo:
Em   Em/D   A/C#   Am/C
Em   Em/D   A/C#   Am/C
Em   Em/D   A/C#   Am/C
Em   Em/D   A/C#   Am/C

🎸 Chorus:
              D4            Am7
as they would ride over the waves
              D4             Am7        G
as they would glide over the waves

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

🎸 Chorus:
              D4            Am7
as they would ride over the waves
              D4             Am7
as they would glide over the waves

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