RIVERMAN'S DAUGHTER
[Intro]
Em Em
Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em C
There's a bend in the river and from where I stand
D Em
I can see the steamboats turning
Em C
I can hear the sailors calling as they make their way for land
D Em
I can smell the coalfire burning
[Verse 2]
Em C
Every morning I've been climbing up and down the lighthouse stairs
D Em
And looking out on the water
Em C
Been leaning on the railing and watching for hours
D Em
For a boat called the Riverman's Daughter
[Chorus]
C G Em D Em
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, have you sailed on out to sea?
C G Em D Em
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, won't you sail home, in the boat you named for me
[Verse 3]
Em C
Through the fog on the river in the old morning light
D Em
I can see a smokestack gleaming
Em C
Could it be my darling coming home alright?
D Em
Could it be my love come steaming?
[Verse 4]
Em C
Every morning I've been climbing up and down the lighthouse stairs
D Em
And looking out on the water
Em C
Been leaning on the railing and watching for hours
D Em
For a boat called the Riverman's Daughter
[Chorus]
C G Em D Em
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, have you sailed on out to sea?
C G Em D
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, won't you sail home...
D Em
After all... these years... have you forgotten me
[Chorus]
C G Em D Em
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, have you sailed on out to sea?
C G Em D Em
Oh Riverman, Oh Riverman, won't you sail home, in the boat you named for me
