Little River Chords

(ver. 1)
Gordon Bok
[Intro]
Em

[Verse]
Em                   Am       C      G
Little River lighted whistle, cry no more
                      D                  C        D
Sleepy sound from the breakers calling me back to shore

[Chorus]
C                      Bm
Whistle it soft to the silver river
Em                     Bm
Whistle it loud to the drumming sea
Em                    Am
Whistle it low to the moon and the morning
Bm     Am  Bm       Am     D
Not to me, never to me

[Verse]
    G            Bm       C      D      C          G
But I'm swinging high in another country, swinging low
                     D                 C        D
Playing it easy, the dolphins follow me where I go

[Chorus]
C                      Bm
Whistle it loud to the flood tide making
Em                     Bm
Whistle it soft to the wheeling sun
Em                    Am
Whistle it wild to my girl's heart breaking
Bm       Am      Bm          Am     D
She'll remember, she was the one

[Verse]
G            Bm     C         D      C           G
Spring comes warm over Little River, storm comes black
                           D           C        D
I was headed home when the Indian Giver took me back

[Chorus]
C                      Bm
Whistle it high to the greybeard breakers
          Em              Bm
Where the secret over the great shoals ran
Em                         Am
Whistle the world that was in my pocket
Bm         Am       C      Bm    Am     D
When I had pockets, when I was a man

[Verse]
G            Bm     C         D      C           G
Spring comes warm over Little River, storm comes black
                           D           C        D
I was headed home when the Indian Giver took me back

[Chorus]
C                      Bm
Whistle it high to the greybeard breakers
          Em              Bm
Where the secret over the great shoals ran
Em                         Am
Whistle the world that was in my pocket
Bm         Am       C      Bm    Am     D
When I had pockets, when I was a man
