[Chorus]
        F         G             C      G/B Am
Oh, the river run down, but the stream ran dry
Dm         G        C     Am
Big strong man don't ever cry
     F         Em        C       Am
Just stands to watch his love go by

Oh, the river run down, but the stream ran dry
[Verse]
Dm              G             C            Am
Yes, he loved a woman, but he let her get away
F           G            C         Am
Didn't ever think he'd regret that day
    Dm            G           C              Am
The laugh and the smile, he'd still play the game
       F         Dm7      G             C     C7
But he knew that day would never be the same

Oh, the river run down, but the stream ran dry
[Verse]
Dm            G       C              Am
There walks a man, he could've had a home
F         G           C            Am
Fine baby children, a woman of his own
   Dm         G        C              Am
He walks all alone, he doesn't have a care
       F        Dm7               G             C      C7
But he keeps on thinking, that he sees her everywhere
[Chorus]
        F         G             C      G/B Am
Oh, the river run down, but the stream ran dry

Big strong man don't ever cry
     F         Em        C       Am
