D D/C G/B D/C
I'm going down to the river,
D D/C G/B D/C
Just to bide my time away,
D D/C G/B D/C
Don't you look or me tomorrow,
D D/C G/B D/C
'Cause I won't be back this way,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
Oh, girl I hate to leave you,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
But I just can't seem to say,
D D/C G/B D/C
When I see the sunrise in your eyes,
D D/C G/B D/C
Darling I'll be on my way.
D D/C G/B D/C
The miles go by so slowly,
D D/C G/B D/C
It seems that time stands still,
D D/C G/B D/C
I long for the day that I can settle down,
D D/C G/B D/C
But I guess I never will,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
Oh, the cities they pass by me,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
Like the ships that sail the sea,
D D/C G/B D/C
Lord I hear that highway calling,
D D/C G/B D/C
Darling I hope you'll wait for me.
D D/C G/B D/C
Oh, it's cold here in the city,
D D/C G/B D/C
I live my life from day to day,
D D/C G/B D/C
Guess I'll always be a rambler,
D D/C G/B D/C
But it's so hard to find my way,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
Lord I need someone to help me,
C9 G/B A#6 C9
I just can't go on this way,
D D/C G/B D/C
I need your smiling face beside me,
D D/C G/B D/C
So darling I'm coming home today.
