Gordon Lightfoot - Long River Ukulele

CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] G  C  G  C  G  D/F#    G C G

[VERSE 1:]
                     Em
Where the long river flows 
   C           D/F#
It flows by my window 
          G           Em
Where the tall timber grows 
   C               D/F#
It grows 'round my door 
          G                  G7
Where the mountains meet the sky 
        C            Am
And the white clouds fly 
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F#
Where the long river flows, by my window


[VERSE 2:]
          G              Em
There's a tiny bird that calls
       C           D/F#
And it calls by my window 
          G                Em
There's a lonely tear that falls 
       C               D/F#
And it falls 'round my door 
    G               G7
But when the sun is high 
        C          Am
There's no time to cry 
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F#
Where the long river flows, by my window


[INTERLUDE (whistle):] G  Em   C  D/F#   G  Em   C  D/F#


[VERSE 3:]
       G              Em
Now if only you could see 
    C              D/F#
The closing of the day 
   G              Em
If only you could be 
          C            D/F#
Where the dawn breaks away 
       G        G7
By the white cascade
    C           Am
Oh, down in the glade 
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F#
Where the long river flows, by my window


[VERSE 4:]
           G             Em
Well, when this land was made 
       C            D/F#
It was made full of wonders
    G           Em
But one woman's love 
  C          D/F#
I can't understand 
        G              G7
And I'd give it all to you
   C             Am
If her love were true 
          D/F#                    G       C  G
Where the long river flows, by my window 
          D/F#                        G       C  G  C  G  C  G C G
Where the long river flows____, by my window
