INTRO:
G

VERSE:
Em                                D
I seemed to know right from the start
C             D             G
 Where I was goin' and how far
C          D    B       Em   D
 Like the river as she flows
C        D                G
 I just always seemed to know

    Em                                  D
But you were born beneath the restless moon
C                   D                G
 Your heart still sings a wanderin' tune
C          D        B      Em    G
 Like the wind can not be bound, oh oh oh
C             D            G
 Walls would only tie you down


CHORUS:
        C               D              G
For a while we traveled in the same directions
     Em       C         D        G
But parted before the journey's end
    Em
I stayed within my boundaries
      D                  D       C
You sailed toward open skie-ie-iess
 C        D            Em    Em   D C
Like the river and the wind
 C        D             G
Like the river and the wind


VERSE:
Em                           D
I always flowed between the lines
C               D                G
 You followed roads that had no signs
C            D          B     Em     G
 The river knows where she belongs, yeah
C              D             G
 The wind, he never finds a home


CHORUS:
        C               D              G
For a while we traveled in the same directions
     Em       C         D        G
But parted before the journey's end
    Em
I stayed within my boundaries
      D                  D       C
You sailed toward open skie-ie-iess
 C        D            Em    Em  D C
Like the river and the wind
 C        D             G
Like the river and the wind
