[Verse 1]
G D A Bm
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
G D A Bm
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
G D A Bm
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
G D A Bm
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
G D A Bm
B man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
G D A Bm
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
G D A Bm
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
G D A Bm
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
G D A Bm
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
G D A Bm F#7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
Bm D Bm D
River take me, river take me
Bm D G D A Bm
River take me far from trouble time
Bm D Bm D
River take me, river take me
Bm D G G D
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
A E G D F#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
G D A Bm
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
G D A Bm
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
G D A Bm
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
G D A Bm
And live within means of my own two hands
G D A Bm F#7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G D A Bm
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
G D A Bm
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
G D A Bm
It can take you away to some far away place
G D A Bm
It can power your cities, carry your waste
G D A Bm
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
G D A Bm
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
G D A Bm
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
G D A Bm
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
G D A Bm
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
G D A Bm F#7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
Bm D Bm D
River take me, river take me
Bm D G D A Bm
River take me far from trouble time
Bm D Bm D
River take me, river take me
Bm D G D A Bm
River take me far from trouble time
Bm D Bm D
River take me, river take me
Bm D G G D
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
A E G D F#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
G D A E G D F#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
