lost on the river key : C

( C ) lost on the river , ( F ) dark is the ( C ) night
just like the blind , prayin’ for ( G7 ) sight
( C ) driftin’ along , ( F ) heart filled with ( C ) strife
i’m lost on the river , the ( G7 ) river of ( C ) life

once dear i thought , ( F ) i knew the ( C ) way
but that was before , ole sad yester ( G7 ) day
( C ) words that you told me , ( F ) cut like A ( C ) knife
i’m lost on the river , the ( G7 ) river of ( C ) life

out on this river , ( F ) where sorrow ( C ) creeps
thinking of you , and how my heart ( G7 ) weeps
to ( C ) morrow you’ll be A ( F ) nother man’s ( C ) wife
and i’m lost on the river , the ( G7 ) river of ( C ) life
