Em
Where the long river flows
C D/F#
It flows by my window

It grows 'round my door
G G7
Where the mountains meet the sky
C Am
And the white clouds fly
D/F# G C G D/F#
Where the long river flows, by my window
[VERSE 2:]
G Em
There's a tiny bird that calls
C D/F#
And it calls by my window
G Em
There's a lonely tear that falls
C D/F#
And it falls 'round my door

But when the sun is high

There's no time to cry

Now if only you could see

The closing of the day

If only you could be

Where the dawn breaks away

By the white cascade

Oh, down in the glade
D/F# G C G D/F#
Where the long river flows, by my window

Well, when this land was made

But one woman's love

I can't understand

And I'd give it all to you
C Am
If her love were true
D/F# G C G
Where the long river flows, by my window

Where the long river flows____, by my window
