RIVER
BY YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND
G Em
The river rolls and the river winds
C G D
And it seems to do something for my peace of mind
G Em
Though I didn't know it, I came here looking to find
C D
A place to forget about my troubles for awhile
D G C
I saw a mother with her little baby when I was walking here
D G C
There's something 'bout a little baby that makes me laugh
D G
They don't seem to have a care
C Em D
And I wonder if I'm ever gonna feel that way again
C D G
Until then, I'll find some time to spend down by the river
Then this repeats for the other verses
I spend a lot of time looking forward
Looking back and looking down at my feet upon the ground
I fell backwards and when I opened my eyes
I found myself staring straight up in the sky
And it seemed like there was something there to learn
When I realized I had nowhere else to be
And the only sound that mattered was the wind that blowed so gentle through the trees
Such a harmony down by the river
Well I heard music, it was soft and clear
And I sang out for the first time, I didn't care who would hear
Because I found my answers in the wind and waves
And the magic in the little things that happen every day
And I played that tune on my old mandolin
And I didn't hurt at all for company
