E    A  E   A

[Verse 1]
E                                  C#m
Met a man from the hills of Pennsylvania
   A                B               E
He seemed to know a whole lot about life
                                      C#m
He asked me, "Son what's truly gonna save ya?
   A                 B                  E
A wonderous land or staying with your guy?"

[Chorus]
    A                          E
Run away, whisky river, run away
         A                          C#m           B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
   E                               A        B       C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
   A                  B                  E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride

[Verse 2]
                                   C#m
Lately I've been trying to find a mirror
    A                B            E
To find some hidden meaning in my eyes
    E                             C#m
And when I saw myself, I was with Johnny
A                 B               E
Sailing seas and living our best life

[Chorus]
    A                          E
Run away, whisky river, run away
         A                          C#m           B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
   E                               A        B       C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
   A                  B                  E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride

[Refrain]
   C#m                A                   E
Is this the way that things were meant to be?
   C#m               A                    E
I love the land but something calls my name out to sea
       C#m             A                   E
There's many worlds to sail to and they're all waiting for me
 C#m             A                E
Think of all the land I've yet to see

[Outro]
    A                          E
Run away, whisky river, run away
         A                          C#m           B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
   E                               A        B       C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
   A                  B                  E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride

    A                          E
Run away, whisky river, run away
         A                          C#m           B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
   E                               A        B       C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
   A                  B                  E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
