Intro 1
(D major) (G major)
(Asus4) (B minor) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
The good (D major) and
the bad always comes from upstream
When (G major) it's good it's never
as good as it seems
Either swimmin' (A major) or sinkin'
and there's (D major) no in (G major) -between
I (D major) looked to the river for a whole lot more
(G major) Just like my daddy and his
daddy before
Waitin' (A major) on our dreams to
wash up (D major) on (G major) the shore
We (A major) quit school and got married too soon
Con (D major) vinced (G major) ourselves it was
the right thing to do
But we (D major) knew in (A major) our hearts it
was cause (E minor) we had to
When every job (A major) on land
in this town fell dead
I (D major) (G major) promised you I'd find
something instead
But had nowhere (D major) else (A major) to turn
when some (E minor) body said
Hey, the river's working (B minor)
Yeah, the river's working
(G major) And if (D major) you want to be a work (A major) ing man
You gotta (G major) break your back
and bruise (E minor) your hand
So get (A major) on board and be glad (B minor) you can
And forget about the (A major) promised
land (E minor) (C major)
Cause the river's working (D major)
(G major)
(A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major)
(G major)
We (A major) are turning left (D major) (G major) to
Park (D major) (G major)
Road
Current in the water's too low
With a (A major) thousand more miles
than a (D major) month (G major) to go
I've seen (A major) deckhands and pilots
Way past their prime
(D major) After (G major) all these years
They still don't have a dime
And we're (D major) all (A major) getting
old before (E minor) our time
But if (A major) you ain't working
You're just living a lie
An (D major) d if (G major) you ain't living,
you're just waiting to die
So you (D major) roll with (A major) the flow and
you don't (E minor) ask why
When the river's working (B minor)
Yeah, the river's work (G major) ing
And if (D major) you wanna be a work (A major) ing man
You gotta (G major) break your back
and bruise (E minor) your hands
So get (A major) on board and be glad (B minor) you can
And forget about the (A major) promised
land (E minor) (C major)
Cause the river's work (D major) ing (G major)
Oh, the river's working
(A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major)
And if (A major) you want to be a working man
You gotta break (B minor) your back
and bruise (G major) your hands
If you (A major) can't do what you want,
you do (B minor) what you can
So forget about the (A major) promised
land (E minor) (C major)
Cause the river's working (D major) (G major)
You (A major) better take it boy (B minor) (A major) (D major)
I (G major) can't wait to get home
to kiss your face (A major)
Tell (B minor) our baby I'll (A major) be home (D major) soon
