[Intro] (D D4) 

D              F#m                   G 
The river flows, it flows to the sea  
               G/F# Em                  A   
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be  
D     D4    D                             D4 
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down  
                D          Em  A4 A        D    D4 D  
Take me from this road to some     other town  

D            F#m              G 
All he wanted  was to be free  
              G/F# Em                A   
And that's the way   it turned out to be  
D     D4    D                             D4 
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down  
                D          Em  A4 A        D    D4 D  
Take me from this road to some     other town  

  D                                D4 
Flow river flow, past the shady trees  
          D             D4  
Go river go, go to the sea  
  Em A4 A      D  
Flow      to the sea  

D              F#m                   G 
The river flows, it flows to the sea  
              G/F# Em                      A   
Wherever it goes     that's where I want to be  
D     D4    D                             D4 
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down  
                D          Em  A4 A        D    D4 D  
Take me from this road to some     other town
