Well, I don't know, but I've been told
          C            Cadd9  C        F
If you're lucky you'll find a river of gold
        Am        G               C  F        
There's all kinda cultures in the universe
        Am       G            C        F
For the river of gold I got a powerful thirst
        C     G6 F        C  G6  F
And the knife is carving


N.C.  C           Cadd9   C        F
But I don't wanna be some ornament wife
      C            Cadd9     C         F
And I don't need a lover for once in my life
       Am        G       C           F
I just wanna get going before I'm too old
          Am         G            C        F
Through a train for awhile in the river of gold
        C     G6 F        C  G6  F
And the knife is carving

River of gold_______
  G            F         Csus4
I seem to have lost my direction, somehow
G          F             Csus4
I've been afraid just to stick my head out
G                   F      C         Dm
Travel along 'til I get to where I'm bound
N.C.          F  C  Dm    C  G6 C F   C  G6 C F
That river of gold____


      C       Cadd9       C          F
Don't grab my hand, don't stand in my way
              C        Cadd9         C       F
I'll read the stars by night and the cards by day
             Am          G         C            F
And when the wheel goes 'round and the story is told
            Am        G          C        F
Well it was all for a dream of a river of gold
        C     G6   F        C  G6  F
And the knife kept carving
         C   G6   F
