Tom: G
INTRO: Am D G
N.C. G Am
The rising of the moon on the Oregon borderline
D G
Lights up the river's edge and the wild blackberry vine
Em Am
And the sand beneath my feet is a cool silver grey
D G
The moon dances on the water, and then it sails away
CHORUS:
N.C. G Am Am7
And I watch it sail away, somewhere where the river goes
D G Am D G
Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
N.C. G Am
On the last day of July you sailed into my mind
D G
We were riding down a river, the wind blowing from behind
Em Am
There were two great blue herons flying through the trees
D G
Moving up the canyon, so silent and so free
CHORUS:
N.C. G Am Am7
And I watched them sail away somewhere where the river goes
D G
Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
INSTRUMENTAL: G Am D G Am D G
N.C. G Am
And I hope the years are happy and the winters aren't too cold
D G
And that life won't treat you badly, I'd like to see you when you're old
Em Am
I'll keep you in my heart like the crying of the loon
D G
And wonder how you are at the rising of the moon
CHORUS:
N.C. G Am Am7
And I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes
D G
Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
CHORUS:
Am Am7
I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes
D G Am D G
Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
