B C#m B A7
Old Man Moon across the swampy river rise
B C#m B A7
Cast a quiet reflection in your eyes
E B A7 E
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
C#m B A7
Hear the crickets singing for a mile
C#m B A7
And the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles
E B A7 E
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
E C#m B A7 E C#m B A7 E
It's like heaven when I love you I'm so far a - way
C#m B7 A E
And you know all my favorite songs to sing
D5 C#m B
Know the words to say
B C#m B A7
So come follow me down the quiet side
C#m B A7
Taste the old river deep and wide
E B A7 E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
C#m B A7 E C#m B A E
And the night bird calling and I'm falling more in love each day
C#m B A7 E D5 C#m B
Want you sit by my side and hold to my hand and love me all the way
B C#m B A7
And we'll leave all the highways far behind
B C#m B A7
And just take a little blanket with the wine
E B A7 E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
E B A7 E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
