Boat on the River

Verse 1:
(Dm)Take me down to my boat on the river
I (C)need to go down, I (A)need to come down
(Dm)Take me back to my boat on the river
And (C)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore

Verse 2:
(Dm)Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She (C)eases me down, (A)touching me gently
With the (Dm)waters that flow past my boat on the river
So (C)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore

Chorus 1:
Oh the (C)river is wide
The river it touches my (Dm)life
like the waves on the (G)sand
And (Gm)all roads lead to (Dm)tranquility base
Where the (E)frown on my face (A)disappears
(Dm)Take me back to my boat on the river
And (C)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore        (instr.)

Chorus 2:
Oh the (C)river is deep
The river it touches my (Dm)life
like the waves on the (G)sand
And (Gm)all roads lead to (Dm)tranquility base
Where the (E)frown on my face (A)disappears
(Dm)Take me back to my boat on the river
And (C)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore
And (C)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore
And (A)I won't cry out (Dm)anymore....   (DmDmDm A-Dm)
