[Verse 1]
E C#m
Met a man from the hills of Pennsylvania
A B E
He seemed to know a whole lot about life
C#m
He asked me, "Son what's truly gonna save ya?
A B E
A wonderous land or staying with your guy?"
[Chorus]
A E
Run away, whisky river, run away
A C#m B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
E A B C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
A B E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
[Verse 2]
C#m
Lately I've been trying to find a mirror
A B E
To find some hidden meaning in my eyes
E C#m
And when I saw myself, I was with Johnny
A B E
Sailing seas and living our best life
[Chorus]
A E
Run away, whisky river, run away
A C#m B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
E A B C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
A B E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
[Refrain]
C#m A E
Is this the way that things were meant to be?
C#m A E
I love the land but something calls my name out to sea
C#m A E
There's many worlds to sail to and they're all waiting for me
C#m A E
Think of all the land I've yet to see
[Outro]
A E
Run away, whisky river, run away
A C#m B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
E A B C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
A B E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
A E
Run away, whisky river, run away
A C#m B
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
E A B C#m
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
A B E
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
