Deep Purple - Watching The River Flow

(originally by Bob Dylan)

[Intro]
B A E

[Verse 1]
E
What’s the matter with me
A
I don’t have much to say
E F#7
Daylight sneaking through the window
B
And I’m still in this all-night café

[Chorus]
E
Walking to and fro beneath the moon
A
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
E B
To sit down on this bank of sand
E
And watch the river flow

[Verse 2]
E
Well, wish I was back in the city
A
Instead of this old bank of sand
E F#7
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
B
And the true love so close at hand

[Chorus]
E
If I had wings and I could fly
A
I know where I would go
E B
But right now I’ll just sit here contentedly
E
And watch the river flow

[Bridge]
B
People disagreeing on all just about everything
E
Makes you stop and all wonder why
F#7
Oh yesterday I saw somеbody on the street
B
Who just couldn’t help but cry

[Chorus]
E
Oh, this old river keeps on rolling, though
A
Whatever way the wind does blow
E B E
I’ll just sit here and watch the river flow

[Keyboard Solo]
B E F#7 B

[Guitar Solo]
E A E B E

[Bridge]
B
People disagreeing everywhere you look
E
Makes you wanna stop and read a book
F#7
Only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
B
That was really shook

[Chorus]
E
But this old river keeps on rolling on
A
Whatever way the wind does blow
E B
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
E
And watch the river flow
B
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
E A E B E
And watch the river flow

[Outro]
