Standard (EADGBE)

2 2 4 4 3 0 (Barred)

For each of the chords, play the bass note of each for the first beat. For D and D7,

play the open D, not the open A

For the first phrase of the chorus and instrumental break, walk down the A string for

the bass notes (I use my pink finger). They are represented as D4, D2 and D0

Intro riff

Intro chords

I've lived a life full of sorrow

 With no where to run or to hide

Happiness you'll see is borrowed

 All I want is you by my side

Gentle river take me away

 to the time of happier days

 All I need is love and company

 Gentle river bring him back to me

Instrumental break

 You can spend all your time a'cryin

 Listen here I don't need your sympathy

 Cause I've made my life to live it

 All I need is you here with me...

Gentle river take me away

 to the time of happier days

 All I need is love and company

 Gentle river bring him back to me

Gentle river bring em' back to... me
