[Verse]
C
4 a. m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet
G
But if you gonna catch a biggest fish
D
You gotta lose a little sleep
C
Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers
Em
I headed for my favorite spot
G F#dim
Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off
Em D C
Wish open to have the river to myself that day
[Chorus]
G C
Cause the river don?t talk, the river don?t care
G
Where you?ve been, what you?ve done
D
Why it is your standin? there
Em C
It just flows on by whisperin? to your soul
G D C G G Bm D C G Bm D
It's gonna be al- right, the river just knows |
C
The way the sun bounced off the water
I couldn?t wholely make him out
G
But I could see he had a fish on
D
A big ole rainbow trout
C
The fight went on forever
And as he headed down my way, I saw his
G F#dim
military hair cut and the new scars on his face
Em D C
Right then I knew what brought him to this place
[Chorus]
G C
You know the river don?t talk, the river don?t care
G
Where you?ve been, what you?ve done
D
Don?t know why it is your standin? there
Em C
It just flows on by whisperin? to your soul
G D C G
It's gonna be al- right, the river just knows
F
He held that fish down in the water
Em
And it caused to back the line
G
He said ?Help, you get your wind back
F#dim
Cause you help me get mine?
Em D C
And all I could think to say was ?Welcome home?
Em D C
But I think that river said it best on its own
G C
Cause the river don?t talk, you know the river don?t care
G
Where you?ve been, what?s you?ve done
D
Why it is your standin? there
Em C
It just flows on by whisperin? to your soul
G D C G
It's gonna be al- right, the river just knows
D C
It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
