CAPO I
[Intro]
F Am G
[Verse 1]
CHe came knocking on her window pane 
He said "Let me Amin, it's going to rain" 
CThey kissed and they watched the storm 
And theAmy held each other to keep warm 
FThey'd just met that day 
DmHe played guitar near the old cafe
CShe said she liked the Dylan song 
GThe one about movin' on 
[Verse 2]
CAll the way to Montreal, 
AmWhen it got wet the car would stall 
CHe spoke a little high school French
AmShe laughed and she said it made no sense 
FThey went a little out of the way 
DmShe had a friend out in Gaspe 
CThey slept there, on her hardwood floor 
GAnd they make love some more
[Chorus]
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown 
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown
[Verse 3]
CHard to see into the sun 
AmWhen they got back on the 401 
CSeems every town had a tale to tell 
AmAnd every street had dreams to sell 
FShe talked about her history 
DmSaid she was one quarter Cree 
CHer mother wouldn't let her know 
GBut her father said that it was so
[Chorus]
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown 
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown
 F   Am   G   Amx2
[Verse 4]
CShe said baby it would be the most 
AmIf we make it out to the western coast
CWe could dive in the ocean there 
AmThen just turn around and head back here 
F'Cause there's no place for you and me 
DmBut I love this country 
CThe gas gauge was getting low 
GWhen they left Ontario
[Chorus]
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown 
Which way does the riFver run 
Through this tAmown 
Which way does the wCind blow 
When the sun goes dGown
[Outro]
Which way does the riFver run
Am G Am
Which way does the wFind blow
Am G Am
Which way does the rFiver run
Am G Am

Which Way Does The River Run - Lennie Gallant

CAPO I

[Intro]

F Am G

[Verse 1]

He came knocking on her window pane

He said "Let me in, it's going to rain"

They kissed and they watched the storm

And they held each other to keep warm

They'd just met that day

He played guitar near the old cafe

She said she liked the Dylan song

The one about movin' on

[Verse 2]

All the way to Montreal,

When it got wet the car would stall

He spoke a little high school French

She laughed and she said it made no sense

They went a little out of the way

She had a friend out in Gaspe

They slept there, on her hardwood floor

And they make love some more

[Chorus]

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

[Verse 3]

Hard to see into the sun

When they got back on the 401

Seems every town had a tale to tell

And every street had dreams to sell

She talked about her history

Said she was one quarter Cree

Her mother wouldn't let her know

But her father said that it was so

[Chorus]

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

F Am G Am

[Verse 4]

She said baby it would be the most

If we make it out to the western coast

We could dive in the ocean there

Then just turn around and head back here

'Cause there's no place for you and me

But I love this country

The gas gauge was getting low

When they left Ontario

[Chorus]

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

Which way does the river run

Through this town

Which way does the wind blow

When the sun goes down

[Outro]

Which way does the river run

Am G Am

Which way does the wind blow

Am G Am

Which way does the river run

Am G Am
