Verse 1
We (G major) set out one day (C major)
to (F major) (C major) sail down that (G major) Piney Green River,
the boatman and (D major) I
Our hopes runnin' high (G major)
We set out one day (C major) (F major)
You sailed (C major) down that (G major) mighty green river,
the waters ran down (D major)
with a bound for haul (G major) ing sound.
I (C major) said to the (G major) boatman,
well I hardly know (C major) you. (G major)
He said, take your (D major) time,
just sit back and watch as
the treetops fly (C major) by. (G major)
We set out one (C major) day
(F major) to (C major) sail down the (G major) mighty green river.
The waters ran down, (D major)
(B minor) with bound (D major) for homes (G major) to sound.
The (C major) ship split the mis (G major) t,
with the tip of its bow (C major) spread. (G major)
The boatman's eyes smiled, (D major)
as the silence replied. (G major)
Oh, set out one day (C major)
to (F major) (C major) sail down that (G major) fine green river,
the waters rammed (D major) down
with a bound for home (G major) sound.
We (C major) passed through the pine (G major) woods,
and I heard voices calling, (C major) (G major)
or was it the wind, (D major)
or the echoes of songs
of the ones that had been. (G major)
We sailed out one (C major) day, (F major)
head (C major) on down that (G major) old, tiny, green river,
the waters ran down, (D major)
with a bound for home (G major) south.
The waters ran (D major) down
with a bound for home (G major) sound.
