Life Is Like A River Chords by Doc Watson

Life is like a river that runs to [Fm] eternity,
[Cm] And all must [Fm] ride that river, honey, just like [Cm] you and me.
It's sometimes rough and muddy, with rapids [Fm] along the way,
[Cm] For some the [Fm] trip is shorter, but all must [Cm] have their day.
[Eb] There's no [Bb] dark and rolling [Cm] tide between [G] you and me,
Lots of love and happiness far as [Cm] I can see.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ There's a dark and muddy current that can sweep your [Fm] boat from sight,
[Cm] If you pass that [Fm] port of no return, [G] there's a dark and [Cm] endless night.
There's also a mighty boatman, and he's out there [Fm] every day,
[Cm] Just put your [Fm] life in his hands, and [G] you're safely [Cm] on your way.
[Eb] There's no [Bb] dark and rolling [Cm] tide between [G] you and me,
Lots of love and happiness far as [Cm] I can see. _ _ _ _ _ _

[Cm] _ _ We rode this raging river when the banks were caving [Fm] in,
When the storms have almost beaten us, [Ab] we've always tried [Cm] again.
Let's keep the faith together, encouraging our friends,
[Cm] Until we reach that [Fm] crystal sea of [Ab] life that never [Cm] ends.
[Eb] There's no dark [Bb] and rolling tide [Cm] between you and [G] me,
Lots of love and happiness [Ab] far as I can [Cm] see.
