Verse 1
(D major) Once the Sachems told a story (A major)
Of a land the great spirit's blessed (D major)
And the people followed the (A major) legend
From the great waters in the West (D major)
And (G major) they stopped (D major) where they found
That the fish (G major) in' was (D major) good
(E minor) earth was fertile
(A major) And game ran (G major) in the (D major) woods and now
(G major) I could be (D major) happy spending (G major) my days (D major) on
The (G major) river that flows (D major) (A major) both ways (D major)
(G major) I could be (D major) happy spending (G major) my days (D major) on
The (G major) river that flows (D major) (A major) both
ways (D major) (G major) (D major)
First came the trappers
Next came the trader (A major) s
their own fortunes
Were fortified (D major) and the valley
Treated them (A major) kindly
So the farmers followed close behind
(D major) Then (G major) the sloop sail was
(D major) Laden round the (G major) battery (D major)
With flour (E minor) from (D major) Yonker
(A major) s furs from (B minor) Al (A major) bany
(D major) And (G major) I could be happy (D major)
just (G major) spending my days (D major)
On the (G major) river that flows (A major) both ways (D major)
Yes, (G major) I could be (D major) happy spending (G major) my days (D major)
On the (G major) river that flows (D major) (A major) both
ways
Writers and painters (D major) have
shown it's beauty
In it's waters and on the shore
While musicians
sing it's praises
Keep alive the rivers lure
With the sunsetin' golden
O'er (G major) the Palisades
afternoon ends
The daylight fades
And I could be happy spending my days
On the river that flows (D major) both ways
I could be happy spending my days on
The river that flows both ways
N' Maybe it's the moonshine
Maybe it's the starlight (A major)
Reflected off good old Haverstraw bay (D major)
Maybe it's the fog that rolls
Off the catskill (A major) mountains
At the break of a brand new day (D major)
But apple cider (G major) and pumpkin (D major) s
Straw (G major) berries and (D major) corn
Make the people (E minor) of the (D major) (A major) river
Glad they were (D major) born
And now (G major) I could be (D major) happy
spending (G major) my days (D major)
On the (G major) river that flows (A major) both ways (G major) (D major)
(G major) I could be (D major) happy spending (G major) my days (D major) on
The (G major) river that flows (A major) both ways (D major)
(G major) I could be (D major) happy (G major) (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) spending (G major) my days (D major) on
The (G major) river that (A major) flows both ways (D major) (G major) (D major)
