Gentle River Lyrics

Preformed by: Alison Krauss
Bm 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
