Verse 1
D
G
What's the matter with me,
C
G
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through
A
the window
D
And I'm still in this all- night cafe.
G
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
C
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
G
D
To sit down on this bank of sand
G
And watch the river flow.
Verse 2
G
Wish I was back in the city
C
Instead of this old bank of sand,
G
With the sun beating down over
A
the chimney tops
D
And the one I love so close at hand.
G
If I had wings and I could fly,
C
I know where I would go.
G
D
But right now I'll just sit
here so contentedly
G
Gm
And watch the river flow.
G

Verse 3
D
People disagreeing on all just about everything,
G
yeah,
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Em
Why only yesterday
I saw somebody on the street
D
Who just couldn't help but cry.
G
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin',
though,
C
No matter what gets in the way and
G
which way the wind does blow,
D
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
G
And watch the river flow.

But I'll sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
