River

[Intro]
G   Am7   C  D  G
 
 
[Chorus]
 G      C             G/B         Am
River, shining in the sun like a diamond
 C                  G/B        Am             G
Running through my veins like lightning, big river
 
 G      C             G/B          Am
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
 C     G/B     Am               G
River running wild and rolling free
 
 
[Verse]
      G                       Am7  Am
Mama said, “don’t climb that tree”
         C          Bm     Am     G
But the river kept callin' out to me
 
            G                 Am
And then I climbed, I climbed so high
 C       D            G
Just to see my river shine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                 G
And when you roll, ya sing hallelujah
             Em                           G
Your water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee
 
      Am              Em
And I see your water shining
       Am               D
And I feel you running free
 
 
[Chorus]
 G      C             G/B         Am
River, shining in the sun like a diamond
 C                  G/B        Am             G
Running through my veins like lightning, big river
 
 G      C             G/B          Am
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
 C     G/B     Am               G
River running wild and rolling free

[Verse]
           G                       Am
The river rolls, she rolls on everyday
         C         Bm         Am     G
And she knows the things she cannot say
 
         G                   Am
And she sees all the seasons fly
 C     D                 G
All across the tides of time
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                    G
And when she rolls, she sings hallelujah
           Em                            G
And water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee
 
      Am             Em
And I see her water shining
       Am               D
And I feel you running free
 
 
[Chorus]
 G      C             G/B         Am
River, shining in the sun like a diamond
 C                  G/B        Am             G
Running through my veins like lightning, big river
 
 G      C             G/B          Am
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
 C     G/B     Am               G
River running wild and rolling free
