Version 1 Version 3[Intro] G Am Bb F C Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one. G Dm Bb C F All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone. [Verse 1] F Bb Going to leave this brokedown palace, F Dm Bb F On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll. F Am Bb F Make myself a bed by the waterside, G Bb F In my time, In my time, I will roll, roll roll. [Chorus 1] F A In a bed, in a bed, Bb F G By the waterside I will lay my head. F G Bb F Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. [Verse 2] F Bb River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy, F Dm Bb F Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home. F Am Bb F It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago. G Bb F Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home. [Chorus 2] F A Goin' home, goin' home, Bb F G By the waterside I will rest my bones, F G Bb F Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. [Verse 3] F Bb Going to plant a weeping willow, F Dm Bb F On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow. F Am Bb F Sing a lullaby beside the water, G Bb F Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll. [Chorus 3] F A Fare you well, fare you well, Bb F G I love you more than words can tell, F G Bb F Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul. [Outro] F Bb Doo do doo, do da do, doo-oo F G Bb F Doo, do doo, da doo da doo F Bb F Doo do doo, do da do, doo da doo F G Bb F Doo, do doo, da doo da doo F G Bb F Do do Doo, do doo, da doo da doo
