[Verse]
       Am           C                Am                  G
Like a bird, on the wing, like a melody, you can't quite sing
     F                Am          C      G                     C        C
Like a cloud, blowin' by, she's a whisper,  she's a tear in my eye
               Am                  C           Am                  G
Like a drop of dew, in the mornin' sun, like a rumor, she's on the run
     F                       Am              C      G              C        C
Like a leaf, droppin' from a tree, she ain't fallin', she's flyin' free

[Chorus]
        Am    F                  C
She's a river, and she's already gone
        E          E7        F
She's a river, headin futher on
C                  E    F
  Water seeks its level, runnin' to the sea
        C            G                C       F C
She's a river, she's flowin' away from me

[Verse]
       Am                  C               Am                    G
Like a dream, you can't recall, you're not sure, it was there at all
         F                         Am
Seemed so clear, but now it's fadin' fast
              C             G    C
You watch the future, become the past

[Chorus]
        Am    F                  C
She's a river, and she's already gone
        E                    F
She's a river, headin futher on
C                  E    F
  Water seeks its level, runnin' to the sea
        C            G                C      F C
She's a river, she's flowin' away from me

[Verse]
       Am                    C                     Am                 G
Like a song, floatin' in the sky, you gotta try to grab it, as it passes by
             F                     Am
If you don't catch it, it's lost in the wind
               C            G   C
That one ain't comin', round again

[Chorus]

        Am    F                  C
She's a river, and she's already gone
        E                    F
She's a river, headin futher on
C                  E    F
  Water seeks its level, runnin' to the sea
        C            G                Am    D
She's a river, she's flowin' away from me
        C            G                C        C
She's a river, she's flowin' away from me
