The River Knows Your Name Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A♯Oh the rFiver A♯knows yoFur name

 And youDmr tears fCalling like the A♯rain

 All Dmaround you Csuffering and Fpain A♯

 Oh theF river Cknows your Fname

A♯And the Friver hA♯ears you Fcry

FAs the Dmlightning Ccracks the open A♯sky

 As yourDm Momma Csings a lullFaby A♯

 Oh theF river Cshe knows Fwhy

(Same chord pattern repeats all five verses)

Let the river wash you down

Beneath the surface with a rushing sound

Like a freight train passing through a town

Let the river wash you down

Let the river take away

All the words what you and I could never say

In the silence Darling let us pray

Let the river take it all away

Oh the river knows your name

From the Brazos to the Wabash To the Seine

No two journeys are ever quite the same

But the river knows your name, Oh the river knows your name
