[G] Cool breeze [A] on the river,
[D] ripples [F#m] to [Bm] the shore,
[A]
[G] Wash away my troubles to [A] the sea forevermore.
[G] Wind and [A] willows whisper,
[D] sadness is [Bm] the [A] sound,
[G] Tell a tale of my once happy [A] world that's falling down,
[Em] Old man I might be going where [D] you're bound.
[G] Old [D] man river, [F#m] I've come to talk [Em] again,
Yes [A] I know you're tired [G] cause your journey never [D] ends,
[A] She's [D] just like you, [F#m] she's moving all [Em] the time,
And [G] I think she's moving [Gm] me out of [D] her mind.
[G] I want to travel [A] with you [D] in your [A] deep and enrolled [D] soul,
[G] That's the only way to make [A] it peaceful like before,
[G] We used to [A] touch at midnight, [D] oh but now I [C#m] feel she's [D] [A] gone,
[G] Even though she's lying next [A] to me I feel alone,
[Em] Old man it looks [A] like time to [D] travel on,
[G]
[D] Old man river, [F#m] I've come to [Em] talk again,
[A] Yes I know you're tired cause [G] your journey never [D] ends,
[Em] [A]
She's just [D] like you, [F#m] she's moving [Em] all the time,
And [G] I think she's moving [Gm] me out of [D] her mind.
[A] Old [D] man river, [F#m] I've come to talk [Em] again,
Yes [A] I know you're tired [G] cause your journey never [D] ends,
[A] She's [D] just like you, [F#m] she's moving all [Em] the time,
And [G] I think she's moving [Gm] me out of her [D] mind.
Oh [G] I think she's moving [Gm] me out of her [D] mind.
Oh [G] I think she's moving [Gm] me out of her [D] mind.
