Watching The River Flow

             A                           D 
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say 
  A                               B 
Daylight's sneaking' through the window 
                       E 
And I'm still in this all night cafe 
   A 
Walking to and fro beneath the moon 
                   D 
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow 
    A                   E                    A 
Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow 
 
Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand 
With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops 
And the one I love so close at hand 
If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go 
But right now I just sit here so contentedly 
And watch the river flow   TURNAROUND 3

People disagreein' on just about everything, yep 
  A 
Makes you stop and wonder why 
          F#m                            B 
Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street 
                    E 
Who just couldn't help but cry 
 
(Chorus) 
         A 
Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though 
     D 
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow 
         A                     E 
And as long as it does I just sit here 
               A 
And watch the river flow 
 
(solo) 
 
(bridge) 
People disagreein' everywhere you look 
Makes you want to stop and read a book 
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street 
That was a-really shook ... 
 
(Chorus) 
 
D           A       D                A       D 
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow 
               A       D 
Watching the river flow 
              A                       E 
Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand 
                     A   TURNAROUND 1, BUT END ON A7 
And watch the river flow
