River

[Intro]
G Am7 C D G

[Chorus]
G C G/B Am
River, shining in the sun like a diamond
C G/B Am G
Running through my veins like lightning, big river

G C G/B Am
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
C G/B Am G
River running wild and rolling free

[Verse]
G Am7 Am
Mama said, “don’t climb that tree”
C Bm Am G
But the river kept callin’ out to me

G Am
And then I climbed, I climbed so high
C D G
Just to see my river shine

[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
And when you roll, ya sing hallelujah
Em G
Your water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee

Am Em
And I see your water shining
Am D
And I feel you running free

[Chorus]
G C G/B Am
River, shining in the sun like a diamond
C G/B Am G
Running through my veins like lightning, big river

River, calling out my name in the nighttime

River running wild and rolling free

[Verse]
G Am
The river rolls, she rolls on everyday
C Bm Am G
And she knows the things she cannot say

G Am
And she sees all the seasons fly
C D G
All across the tides of time

[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
And when she rolls, she sings hallelujah
Em G
And water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee

Am Em
And I see her water shining
Am D
And I feel you running free

[Chorus]
