River Lady – Roger Whittaker (Original in key off A)
(It’s similar to another version but I’ve added many more chords to give a fuller presentation)
Intro: Em F C
Am7 Dm
The day the river freezes, is the day it won't seem fair,
F Dm7 Am C
'Cause they'll come to get the River Lady, and I don't think they'll care.
Am7 Dm
I know they'll scrape her paint off, in their same old foolish ways,
F Dm7 Am C
Now the people see the river, but the old ships gone away.
F Em
Water turns cold and gets a freezin',
C Am
before you even know it, the old girl's easin',
Em Am F
Away from her berth, round by the point and out of our view.
Em C Am
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' like on the banks, that old horn's soundin',
Em Am F
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do;
Em F C
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do.
Am7 Dm
I know I will remember, when I cannot hear that horn,
F Dm7 Am C
That would roll up by the mountains, as she took us through the storm.
Am7 Dm
I know they've got to take her, but I can't say I approve,
F Dm7 Am C
'Cause she's won so many battles, that I hate, to see her lose.
F Em
Water turns cold and gets a freezin',
C Am
before you even know it, the old girl's easin',
Em Am F
Away from her berth, round by the point and out of our view.
Em Am F
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do;
Em F C
a little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do.
F Em
Water turns cold and gets a freezin',
C Am
before you even know it, the old girl's easin',
Em Am F
Away from her berth, round by the point and out of our view.
Em Am C Am
Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' like on the banks, that old horn's soundin',
Em F Am
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do,
Em F C
A little goodbye, a little I'll do what I must do.
