River Lady chords by Roger Whittaker

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

A augmentedA
The day the river freezes
    B minorBm
Is the day it won't seem fair
        D MajorD
'Cause they'll come to get the River Lady
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
And I don't think they'll care

 A augmentedA
I know they'll scrape her paint off
     B minorBm
In their same old foolish ways
    D MajorD
Now the people see the river
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
But the old ships gone away

A augmentedA      D MajorD
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin'
        A augmentedA
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin'
       C# minorC#m
Away from her berth, round by the point
        D MajorD
And out of our view

      D MajorD
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin'
      A augmentedA
Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin'
       C# minorC#m                D MajorD
A augmentedA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do
       C# minorC#m        D MajorD       A augmentedA
A majorA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do

 A augmentedA
I know I will remember
    B minorBm
When I cannot hear that horn
      D MajorD
That would roll up by the mountains
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
As she took us through the storm

 A augmentedA
I know they've got to take her
   B minorBm
But I can't say I approve
       D MajorD
'Cause she's won so many battles
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
That I hate to see her lose

A augmentedA      D MajorD
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin'
        A augmentedA
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin'
       C# minorC#m
Away from her berth, round by the point
        D MajorD
And out of our view
       C# minorC#m                D MajorD
A augmentedA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do
       C# minorC#m        D MajorD       A augmentedA
A majorA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do


A augmentedA      D MajorD
Water turns cold and gets ta freezin'
        A augmentedA
Before you even know it, the old girl's easin'
       C# minorC#m
Away from her berth, round by the point
        D MajorD
And out of our view

      D MajorD
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin'
      A augmentedA
Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin'
       C# minorC#m                D MajorD
A augmentedA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do
       C# minorC#m        D MajorD       A augmentedA
A majorA little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do
