D A
The high, soaring hawk, the dark, awkward crow
D
The white gull alone on the high, rolling sea
A
Must make their way home, best way that they know
D
No different, for you and for me.
[Chorus]
G A
We will stay where the river runs through
F#m
The range and the sky, buckskin and blue
D G A
We will ride to the end, on the wings of the wind
D
‘Til we’re home, and our circle is through
[Verse 2]
D A
May the children read, may they understand
D
What is of true value so the truth may be known
A
The glory of God and the dark side of man
D
For one day they must ride all alone
[Chorus]
G C A
May they stay where the river runs through
F#m
The range and the sky, buckskin and blue
D G A
May they ride to the end, on the wings of the wind
D
‘Til they’re home, and their circle is through
[Interlude]
G C A F#m D G A D E
[Verse 3]
E B
May the river flow, may the salmon run
E
May your nights be crowned with a mantle of stars
B
May your pony stay sound for the work to be done
E
He’ll getcha home with your dreams and your scars
[Chorus]
A D B
May you stay where the river runs through
G#m
The range and the sky, buckskin and blue
