This is my river hat

I've had it for years

I've shared some good times in it

It fell in a camp fire on the banks of the Comal River
C G
burned a hole clean through it
Em D
Ol' Chuck said it matched my liver
Chorus:
C G
So I think I'll raise a cold can
Em D
for the things that keep us together

and i'll drink a toast to old friends

if you've ever had a good time here

C D G Em C
This is our river song!
Verse 2:
G D
These are my old river shoes
C G
they dont match and I dont care
C G
I searched all day and rescued Flip
Em D
but Flop's still out there somewhere
G D
Like my Frio fishing buddy Mark
C G
The Marines shipped him away
C G
Yeah, we sure do miss him
Em D
but I'll see him one fine day.
