[(intro) ]E 

Green River, I've come back to you 
A 
 Do you remember me 
                E     F#                   B7 
Do you remember Molly   with the soft blue eyes? 
  E 
I left here with a lot of dreams 
A 
 None of them came true 
                       B7              E 
What I wanted was here waiting all the time 

      B                        B7      E 
Green River, did she come here   every evening 
         B                      B7         E 
Like the neighbors said she did so faithfully 
      A                           E 
Green River, has she gone away forever? 
         F# 
She just disappeared one day 
   B7 
As she gave up on me 

      E 
Green River, if you see her 
          A 
Won't you tell her I've returned? 
                       E    F#                B7 
All I brought her is myself   and this little ring 
       E 
Please tell her that I love her 
       A 
And my lesson I have learned 
                      B7                  E 
Green River, tell her please come back to me
