WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW (Bob Dylan)
F Bb
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say
F G
Daylight's sneaking' through the window
C
And I'm still in this all night cafe
F
Walking to and from beneath the moon
Bb
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
F C F
Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow
F Bb
Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand
F G
With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops
C
And the one I love so close at hand
F Bb
If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go
F C
But right now I just sit here so contentedly
F
And watch the river flow
C
People disagreein' on just about everything, yep
F
Makes you stop and wonder why
Dm G
Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street
C
Who just couldn't help but cry
F
Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though
Bb
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow
F C
And as long as it does I just sit here
F
And watch the river flow
C
People disagreein' everywhere you look
F
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Dm G
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
C
That was a-really shook
F
Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though
Bb
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow
F C
And as long as it does I just sit here
F
And watch the river flow
Bb F Bb F Bb
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow
F Bb
Watching the river flow
F C
Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand
F
And watch the river flow
