E              E 
Holding on dear river to my skin 
                E                E 
Whispering the places you have been 
     A                E 
And I look back... upstream 

  E (on upbeats)                
Everybody knows the river comes the river goes 
  A 
But you stopped here 
  C#m       A 
You stopped here 
  E  Esus4 
For me 

  F#m                A 
You took my heart in tow 
  F#m               A 
How could I let you go 

E  Esus4 (strum)    F#m                        A                     E  Esus4 
I doubt anyone can keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up with you 
E  Esus4                 F#m                        A                     E  Esus4 
Yeah I doubt anyone can keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up with you 
E  Esus4     F#m           A        E  Esus4 
OoooooOoooooOooooooOoooOooOoooOooooOooooooh 
E  Esus4     F#m           A        E  Esus4 
OoooooOoooooOooooooOoooOooOoooOooooOooooooh 

E  Esus4 
Rolling on dear river does it end 
E  Esus4 
I saw you through the canyon and the bend 
       A 
Did you look back? 
    E  Esus4 
For me 
E  Esus4 
I could fight the flow 
E  Esus4 
And tug of war the undertow 
    A 
But i'd never 
    F#m/A 
Not ever 
   E 
Succeed 

 (slap) 
So when you're out to sea 
 (slap) 
I hope you think of me 

E  Esus4            F#m                        A                     E  Esus4 
I doubt anyone can keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up with you 
E  Esus4                 F#m                        A                     E  Esus4 
yeah I doubt anyone can keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up with you 
E  Esus4     F#m           A        E  Esus4 
OoooooOoooooOooooooOoooOooOoooOooooOooooooh 
E  Esus4     F#m           A        E  Esus4 
OoooooOoooooOooooooOoooOooOoooOooooOooooooh 

E         F#m 
Just keep on river 
A         E 
Gone is my friend
