[Verse 1]
Cm                                      Fm
Life is like a river that runs to eternity
    Cm                 Fm                    Ab      Cm
And all must ride that river honey just like you and me
                                                     Fm
It's sometimes rough and muddy with rapids along the way
    Cm               Fm          G        Ab         Cm
For some the trip is shorter but all must have their day


[Chorus]
Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see

[Verse 2]
          Cm                                                   Fm
There's a dark and muddy current that can sweep your boat from sight
       Cm                 Fm                   G        Ab      Cm
If you pass that point of no return, there's a dark and endless night
                                                       Fm
There's also a mighty boatman and he's out there every day
     Cm               Fm                   G      Ab      Cm
Just put your life in his hands and you're safely on your way


[Chorus]
Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see

[Verse 3]
      Cm                                                Fm
We've rode this raging river when the banks were cavin' in
         Cm                 Fm              G      Ab     Cm
When the storms have almost beaten us we've always tried again
                                              Fm
Let's keep the faith together encouraging our friends
  Cm                Fm             G         Ab    Cm
Until we reach that crystal sea of life that never ends


[Chorus]

Eb                  Bb          Cm               G
There's no dark and rolling tide between you and me
                                   Ab    Cm
Lots of love and happiness, far as I can see
