Dan Fogelberg - The River


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: Am G F G (3x) Am

G F G Am
I was born by a river
G F G Am
Rolling past a town
G F G Am
Given no direction
G F Dm
Just told to keep my head down
Am G Dm
As I took my position
Am G Dm
A man fired a gun
Am G F G
I was so steeped in tradition I could not run


Lead Break: Am G F G Am G F G Am


G F G Am
I was raised by a river
G F G Am
Weaned upon the sky
G F G Am
And in the mirror of the waters
G F Dm
I saw myself learn to cry
Am G Dm
As the tears hit the surface
Am G Dm
I saw what had been done
Am G F G
I gave feet to my freedom and I did run


Lead Break: Am G F G Am G F


G Am G F
Someday later
G Am G F
I saw the writing in the dust
G Am G F
It told me how I should travel
G Am G F G
It told me who I was


Lead Break: Am G F G Am G F G Am


G F G Am
I ran far from the river
G F G Am
Far as I could see
G F G Am
And as the sun hit my shoulders
G F Dm F Dm
I felt it burning me
Am G Dm
How I longed for the waters
Am G Dm
As the fire raged
Am G F G
How I longed for the river as I aged


Lead Break: Am G F G Am G F G Am


G F G Am
I will die by a river
G F G Am
As it rolls away
G F G Am
Bury me in the night time
G F Dm
Do not waste the day
Am G Dm
High above the waters
Am G Dm
That roll on to the sea
Am G F Am
All the angels in heaven will laugh at me
G F Am
They will laugh at me
G F
They will laugh at me
G Am
They will laugh at me


Lead Break: G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am

G F G Am
My life was naught but a river
G F G Am
Rolling through my brain
G F G Am
Made of so many teardrops
G Am G F
Made of so much pain
