VERSE
F Gm C
While walking on the bank of the wild wild river, just losing the day
C Gm Eb
An old man appeared, I was afeard and started moving away
F
He said: 'I mean you no harm' –
Gm C
And his voice it was calming to my troubled mind
C Gm Eb
He went on and said: 'Son, boy don't you runaway blind'
CHORUS
F Gm F
From the very first cry, very first cry
Gm F Gm C
From the very first cry, it comes
VERSE
F Gm C
So I stopped and I turned, he looked at me eyes holding gentle concern
C Gm Eb
'Take the heat off your brow, please, suffer an old man's tongue'
F
'Cause if you worry your life then like the wild wild river,
Gm C
It’ll never stay long
C Gm Eb
Unlike winters go round and summers go south and it's ... gone
CHORUS
F Gm F
From the very first cry, very first cry
Gm F Gm C
Like the very first cry, it comes
Bb
The long goodby-i-y-ye, yeah

VERSE
F Gm
Well, I lost myself down by the wild wild river and pondered upon
C Gm Eb
What was meant by who was sent but now was gone
F Gm C
On reflection it seems, simple naive in the face of despair
C Gm Eb
But if I'm losing my way, then help me to climb that stair
CHORUS
F Gm F
From the very first cry, very first cry
Gm F Gm C
From the very first cry, it comes
