Ab                     Fm
River runs warm in the summer sun
Ab         Fm            Bbm
River runs cold when the summer's done
      Ab
But a boy's just a dreamer
       Fm
By the riverside
           Db          Ab
Cause the water's too fast
        Bbm     Eb   Ab   E7
And the water's too wide
         A
Then the world turns around
        F#m
And the boy grows tall
   A
He hears the song
       Bm      E7
Of the river call
    A
The river song sings
       F#m
Travel on Travel on
    A             Bm
You blink away a tear
        E7      A
And the boy is gone

       D             Bm
Oh a river's gonna flow
           A                G/A
Cross the land 'Cross the land
      D             Bm          A    G
Oh a river's gonna flow to the sea
      D
And a boy's gonna grow
     A         F#m
To a man to a man
     A            Bm        A      D
Only once in his life is he free
     A          Bm           D
Only one golden time in his life
Esus4  E   A
Is he free
