F                   C 
The gypsies know my future
F                  Bb
The angels know my past
                   F
I roll around this big wide world
   C
To find a love to last
F                 C
I'm weary from my wandering
F                     Bb
Lord I'm wounded in a war
                          F
I'll lay me low where the willows grow
C7
Listen to that river song
F
River runs by my window
Bb               F
River runs by my door
Bb            F
River runs so sweet
Bb                  F    
Might never roam no more
Bb                  F  Bb  F             
Might never roam no more
F                                  C
I've seen the stars falling on the mountains
              F                    Bb
I've seen the moon rising from the sea
Bb                 F
I never ever saw a sight so sweet
        C
As that woman in my arms asleep
              F                C
They say that honey heals the  body
              F                    Bb
They say that music can soothe the soul
                           F                  
I've learned the heart has reasons
C7
That reason can not know
F
River runs by my window
Bb               F
River runs by my door
Bb            F
River runs so sweet
Bb                  F    
Might never roam no more
Bb                  Dm   Am C   Dm  Am  C  F             
Might never roam no more
F                       C 
I don't know where that river roams
F                       Bb
But she goes around the bend
                            F                          
Just might roll around the  great wide world 
C7
Come on home again
F
River runs by my window
Bb               F
River runs by my door
Bb            F
River runs so sweet
Bb                  F    
Might never roam no more
Bb                  F  Bb  F             
Might never roam no more
