Intro:

Take a walk down by, take a walk down by the river

There’s a lot that you, there’s a lot that you can learn

If you’ve got a mind that’s open, if you’ve got a heart that yearns

If you listen to, if you listen to the water

You will hear the sound, you will hear the sound of life

G Dm C F G (G G F G) x2
There’s a million different voices, there is happiness and strife

Message in the deep, from a strange eternal sleep

That is waiting there, that is waiting there

Bb C Am F G (G G F G) x2
for you Like hidden treasure

Interlude]
4x
Guitar: G
Keys: G Am G C G Am

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

[Interlude]
4x
Guitar: G
Keys: G Am G C G Am

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow
