My River


Capo 2nd fret C F G7 C Wild as a bird in flight, this is my river. F G7 C One road of dancing light, rolling to the sea. F G7 C This river ambles down, glides through the quiet town. F G7 C Long may she ramble down, rolling to the sea. F G7 C This river is my home, rolling to the sea. Am G F C Born in her valley, I learned to hear her sing. F C G The old ones taught me of her and her ways. Am G F C Frozen in winter, rising in the spring, F C/E Dm C G - G/F - G/E - G/D Low and lazy through hot summer days.

Wild as a bird in flight, this is my river.
One road of dancing light, rolling to the sea.
This river ambles down, glides through the quiet town.
Long may she ramble down, rolling to the sea.
This river is my home, rolling to the sea.

Clean sandy bottom pebbles smooth and worn,
Water still so cold from melting snow.
Winding down the valley through fields of wheat and corn,
Onward and forever she will flow.

Wild as a bird in flight, this is my river.
One road of dancing light, rolling to the sea.
This river ambles down, glides through the quiet town.
Long may she ramble down, rolling to the sea.
This river is my home, rolling to the sea.
This river is my home, rolling to the sea.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2002)
