[Intro]
Fm7 Eb Bb Eb
[Verse]
EbI have seen the paddle wheelers
Rolling Absouth on a summers' daCmy
I've seen the Fm7lovers at the Bbguardrails
With Abstars in their BblemonEbade
[Verse]
EbAnd I've heard the hobo's gather
Heard their Abbanjo's brace the Cmblade
Heard them Fm7sing about the Bbriver
Called it the Ablazy Bbman's paEbrade
[Chorus]
EbSing me that song about the river
AbGreen going aCmway
I Fm7always did feel like a Ebdrifter
'Bout this Bbtime of Ebday
[Instrumental]
Fm7 Eb Bb Eb
[Verse]
EbLast night I stood by the highway
PreAbtended I was on my Cmway
You know a Fm7hundred thousand Bbheadlights
Couldn't Abmatch the Bbmilky Ebway
[Verse]
EbAnd when the moonlight touches the water
Surely Absomething touches Cmme
And I go Fm7reaching for the Bbriver
Like it's Abreaching Bbfor the Ebsea
[Chorus]
EbSing me that song about the river
AbGreen going aCmway
I Fm7always did feel like a Ebdrifter
'Bout this Bbtime of Ebday
[Bridge]
Some Abthings go on forDbever
The Bbmtruth don't ever AbstraEby
The Fm7wind may brush the Ebwater
But the Fm7river won't perBbsuade
[Chorus]
So, Sing me that Ebsong about the river
AbGreen going aCmway
I Fm7always did feel like a Ebdrifter
'Bout this Bbtime of Ebday
Yes, I Fm7always did feel like a Ebdrifter
About this Bbtime of Ebday
