Introduction:
E A E
I've known rivers ancient and deep
E A
Seen the ripples in the moonlight
E
And the secrets they keep
E A E
Rushing like a torrent and carving the land
D A E
Picking up trees The stone and the sand
E A E
And the cities of Man grow up from the ground
E A E
They grow up so tall where the river runs down
E A E
Paris to London, Boston, New Orleans
D A E
From the heartland of Dixie out to the seven seas
B
Like the Tears of the Earth
D E
The rivers they run
A
Comin down from the mountain
E B
In the bright morning sun
E A E
Where I clean my soul and get carried away
D A E
Let me stay in the valley by the river one more day
I remember a place, where mountains divide.
