Key: D major

Verse 1
D D 
 
G G 
 
What's the matter with me,
C C 
 
G G 
 
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through
A A 
 
the window
D D 
 
And I'm still in this all- night cafe.
G G 
 
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
C C 
 
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
G G 
 
D D 
 
To sit down on this bank of sand
G G 
 
And watch the river flow.

Verse 2
G G 
 
Wish I was back in the city
C C 
 
Instead of this old bank of sand,
G G 
 
With the sun beating down over
A A 
 
the chimney tops
D D 
 
And the one I love so close at hand.
G G 
 
If I had wings and I could fly,
C C 
 
I know where I would go.
G G 
 
D D 
 
But right now I'll just sit
here so contentedly
G G 
 
Gm Gm 
 
And watch the river flow.
G G 
 

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

Interlude 1

Verse 4
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
People disagreeing
G G 
 
everywhere you look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Em Em 
 
Why only yesterday I saw
somebody on the street
D D 
 
That was really shook.
G G 
 
But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
C C 
 
No matter what gets in the way and
G G 
 
which way the wind does blow,
D D 
 
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
G G 
 
And watch the river flow.

Verse 5
G G 
 
Watch the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
C C 
 
Watchin' the river flow,
G G 
 
D D 
 
But I'll sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
