D              A                Bm 
I've  lived  a  life  full  of  sorrow 
D              G                A 
With  no  where  to  run  or  to  hide 
D              A            Bm 
Happiness  you'll  see  is  borrowed 
G              A              D 
All  I  want  is  you  by  my  side 

[Refrão]
  D                 G 
Gentle  river  take  me  away 
         A                   D 
to  the  time  of  happier  days 
      D           Bm7         D    G 
All  I  need  is  love  and  company 
        D   A                        D 
Gentle  river  bring  him  back  to  me  
(repeat INTRO)

You  can  spend  all  your  time  a'cryin 
  D               G                  A 
Listen  here  I  don't  need  your  sympathy 
  D               A                Bm 
Cause  I've  made  my  life  to  live  it 
  G             A                   D 
All  I  need  is  you  here  with  me... 
 
(repeat CHORUS) 
        D   A                          D 
Gentle  river  bring  em' back  to...    me
