[Verse 1]
G                 Am
Fare you well, my honey
Bb       F                  C
Fare you well, my only true one
G                       Dm
All the birds that were singing
Bb                    C
Are flown, except you alone
F                Bb
Gonna leave this brokedown palace
F                  Dm            Bb    C     F
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
F             A          Bb
Make myself a bed by the waterside
F                 G            Bb          F
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
[Chorus]
F         A
In a bed, in a bed
       Bb               F      G
By the waterside I will lay my head
F                   G
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
Bb         F
To rock my soul
[Verse 2]
F                            Bb
River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
F                 G              Bb       F
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
F               A       Bb              F
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
F                G                      Bb           F
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home
[Chorus]
F           A
Going home, going home
Bb                      F       G
By the waterside I will rest my bones
F                   G
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
Bb         F
To rock my soul
[Verse 3]
F               Bb
Going to plant a weeping willow
F                   G            Bb          F
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
F            A    Bb         F
Singing a lullaby beside the water
F               G                  Bb          F
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll
[Chorus]
F              A
Fare you well, fare you well
Bb                   F         G
I love you more than words can tell
F                   G
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
Bb         F
To rock my soul
