Watching The River Flow

Bob Dylan
 AD
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say
 AB
Daylight's sneaking' through the window
 E
And I'm still in this all night cafe
 A
Walking to and fro beneath the moon
 D
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
A E A TURNAROUND 2
Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand
With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand
If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go
But right now I just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow TURNAROUND 3

BRIDGE #1:
 E
People disagreein' on just about everything, yep
 A
Makes you stop and wonder why
 F#mB
Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street
 E
Who just couldn't help but cry

CHORUS:
 A
Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though
 D
No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow
 AE
And as long as it does I just sit here
A TURNAROUND 1 (1ST TIME, 2ND TIME TO OUTRO)
And watch the river flow

SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS, END WITH TURNAROUND 3)

BRIDGE #2:
People disagreein' everywhere you look
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was a-really shook ...CHORUS

OUTRO:
 DADAD
 Watch the river flow, watching the river flow 
 AD
Watching the river flow 
 AE
Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand
A TURNAROUND 1, BUT END ON A7
And watch the river flow
