Intro: G  C  G  C  G  D/F#    G C G 

verse 1: 
                     Em 
Where the long river flows  
   C           D/F# 
It flows by my window  
          G           Em 
Where the tall timber grows  
   C               D/F# 
It grows 'round my door  
          G                  G7 
Where the mountains meet the sky  
        C            Am 
And the white clouds fly  
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F# 
Where the long river flows, by my window 


verse 2: 
          G              Em 
There's a tiny bird that calls 
       C           D/F# 
And it calls by my window  
          G                Em 
There's a lonely tear that falls  
       C               D/F# 
And it falls 'round my door  
    G               G7 
But when the sun is high  
        C          Am 
There's no time to cry  
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F# 
Where the long river flows, by my window 


INTERLUDE: G  Em   C  D/F#   G  Em   C  D/F# 


verse 3: 
       G              Em 
Now if only you could see  
    C              D/F# 
The closing of the day  
   G              Em 
If only you could be  
          C            D/F# 
Where the dawn breaks away  
       G        G7 
By the white cascade 
    C           Am 
Oh, down in the glade  
          D/F#                    G       C  G  D/F# 
Where the long river flows, by my window 


verse 4: 
           G             Em 
Well, when this land was made  
       C            D/F# 
It was made full of wonders 
    G           Em 
But one woman's love  
  C          D/F# 
I can't understand  
        G              G7 
And I'd give it all to you 
   C             Am 
If her love were true  
          D/F#                    G       C  G 
Where the long river flows, by my window  
          D/F#                        G       C  G  C  G  C  G C G 
Where the long river flows____, by my window
