Which Way Does The River Run - Lennie Gallant
CAPO I
[Intro]
F Am G
[Verse 1]
C
He came knocking on her window pane
Am
He said "Let me in, it's going to rain"
C
They kissed and they watched the storm
Am
And they held each other to keep warm
F
They'd just met that day
Dm
He played guitar near the old cafe
C
She said she liked the Dylan song
G
The one about movin' on
[Verse 2]
C
All the way to Montreal,
Am
When it got wet the car would stall
C
He spoke a little high school French
Am
She laughed and she said it made no sense
F
They went a little out of the way
Dm
She had a friend out in Gaspe
C
They slept there, on her hardwood floor
G
And they make love some more
[Chorus]
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
[Verse 3]
C
Hard to see into the sun
Am
When they got back on the 401
C
Seems every town had a tale to tell
Am
And every street had dreams to sell
F
She talked about her history
Dm
Said she was one quarter Cree
C
Her mother wouldn't let her know
G
But her father said that it was so
[Chorus]
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
[Verse 4]
C
She said baby it would be the most
Am
If we make it out to the western coast
C
We could dive in the ocean there
Am
Then just turn around and head back here
F
'Cause there's no place for you and me
Dm
But I love this country
C
The gas gauge was getting low
G
When they left Ontario
[Chorus]
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
F
Which way does the river run
Am
Through this town
C
Which way does the wind blow
G
When the sun goes down
[Outro]
F
Which way does the river run
Am G Am
F
Which way does the wind blow
Am G Am
F
Which way does the river run
Am G Am
