[Verse]
     A
Blue river
                         D7
It can't be found on any map that I know
                                A
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
             E         E
To cry their tears  (break)


[Verse]
     A
Blue river 
                         D7
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
                             A
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
             E       E
Like I loved you,  (break)
                 A
And baby I still do


[Middle 8]
D
    I held you so tight
A
   You were out of my sight
D
    I'm feelin' so low
B7     E
   But I gotta go


[Verse]
     A
Blue river
                         D7
Because you never really cared about me
                              A
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
            E       E
Cryin' over you  (break)
                A
By the river of blue
