Green River, I've come back to you
A
Do you remember me
E F# B7
Do you remember Molly with the soft blue eyes?
E
I left here with a lot of dreams
A
None of them came true
B7 E
What I wanted was here waiting all the time
B B7 E
Green River, did she come here every evening
B B7 E
Like the neighbors said she did so faithfully
A E
Green River, has she gone away forever?
F#
She just disappeared one day
B7
As she gave up on me
E
Green River, if you see her
A
Won't you tell her I've returned?
E F# B7
All I brought her is myself and this little ring
E
Please tell her that I love her
A
And my lesson I have learned
B7 E
Green River, tell her please come back to me
