_ _ _ _ When I first heard the [F#] [E] sound of the river [F#] going down, [E] I knew I [B] had to travel [C#m] like the
[F#] waters from my home.
[B] See what [F#] I could see, [E] go beyond my [B] boundaries [F#] [E] and look into [B] the
heart [F#] of the life I [B] chose for me.

[Bm] On _ [E] I'm a star and following [G#m] dreams [C#] out before [F#] me in the night. _
[B] On and on [E] _ [B] I'm ways to gamble,
[E] better think of [B] home again [F#] before it's out of sight.

_ [B] _ _ When I left to see [F#] the [E] world, my one and only [F#] girl, [E] decided that [B] this passion was [C#] a fearful
thing [F#m] to fight.
[C#] [B] Tried to prove her [F#] wrong, [E] I said I won't [F#] be long.
[E] Please take the love
[B] I give you, but [F#] I knew that she [B] was right.

_ [B] _ _ _ She never [F#] asked where for [E] us, but sometimes [F#] just why.
[E] That her love alone [B] can't hold me
[C#m] from the [F#] current deep inside.
[B] Hope to [F#] pray that she'll be [E] there each time that [F#] I come
home.
[E] The strength her [B] love still gives me [F#] is the thing that [B] lets me row.
