Verse 1
D 
When I was a kid I heard
G 
D 
the wild wind call
A 
And I figured I couldn't stay
D 
G 
So I went to the river to
D 
cross the other side
A 
D 
But the river was cold that day
G 
The river was cold that day,
D 
A 
so I turned and I walked away
D 
Other wild wind was calling
G 
D 
and I couldn't stay
A 
D 
A 
D 
But the river was cold that day
Soon I was a young man with
G 
D 
dreams in my head
A 
And the old folks were only in my way
D 
So I ran to the river to
G 
D 
cross the other side
A 
D 
But the river was deep that day
G 
The river was deep that day,
D 
A 
so I turned and walked the other way
D 
G 
D 
But I made a promise I'd come back some day,
A 
D 
A 
D 
but the river was deep that day
Somehow I got married,
G 
had a wife and a job
D 
A 
And a new car, a pile of bills to pay
D 
One night I sneaked to the river
G 
D 
to cross the other side
A 
D 
But the river was wide that day
G 
The river was wide that day
D 
So I fought a while and
A 
slowly walked away
D 
Hell, I ain't no good a swimmer
G 
and the shore was far away
D 
A 
D 
Ah, the river was wide that day
G 
D 
A 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
D 
Oh, now I'm an old man,
G 
I watch my children grow
D 
Can't believe how the
A 
years slip away
D 
Now they're building a bridge
G 
D 
across the other side
A 
D 
Cause the river ran dry today
G 
The river ran dry today
D 
A 
Just like me, time washed it away
D 
Now I'm watching the sunset,
G 
D 
guess that's all there's left to say
A 
D 
Cause the river ran dry today
A 
Yeah, the river ran dry today
D
