D      F   Am7   D

[Verse 1]
          D
Well, she moved back around here
F           Am7         D
Thirty-five weeks ago today

Oh, down the lane

         D
Well, at night she walks on the banks
      F               Am7                D
And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away

And how she left one day

[Pre-chorus 1]
    Am7
She left with a driven look in her eyes
G                        D
Came back around with it still inside
          Am7
They said give it some time

And you'll forget about it too
   G                D
We know they always do

[Chorus]
             D         Bm
Well, I know some fine day
 C        Am7       G
You will find your way
           D
Across the river, across the river
D          Bm
Row down slow
           C   Am7    G
There's a long way to go
           D
Across the river, across the river

[Verse 2]
D
She was proud and so strong
        F            Am7            D
But she tried not to listen to idle talk

Downtown where she walked

           D
Well, they sit around and they say
         F                  Am7              D
That she came back with her tail between her legs

Like they always said she would

[Pre-chorus 2]
        Am7
Well, I hear it's better on the other side
     G                               D
They say you'll never do it so don't even try
          Am7
Well, you may be beaten down with your closed mind
    G                    D
But don't try to make it mine

[Chorus]
             D         Bm
Well, I know some fine day
 C        Am7       G
You will find your way
           D
Across the river, across the river
D          Bm
Row down slow
           C   Am7    G
There's a long way to go
           D
Across the river, across the river

[Bridge]
      Bb            F
"Your wild days are through"
        G
Is what they said
  Bb           F         G
I dreamed she came, then I went down

And I walked where she led

D      F   Am7   D

[Verse 3]
D
Standing on the shore
    F            Am7                  D
She looks to the west with a look of longing

To where the grass seems greener

[Pre-chorus 3]
      Am7
Well, there's a hard and distant prize
   G                           D
It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
      Am7
Well, even if it doesn't happen for me
   G                          D
It still beats hanging around here

[Chorus]
             D         Bm
Well, I know some fine day
 C        Am7       G
You will find your way
           D
Across the river, across the river
D          Bm
Row down slow
           C        Am7    G
There's a long long way to go
           D
Across the river, across the river
