verse 1 

D  
On a street in some big city  
          Bm 
lives the girl I love so well 
D 
She left me for another  
    Bm 
now there's nothing much to tell 
     G 
As I try to fit my life  
               A           A7 
in a different mode I find 


[Refrão]

     D                  C 
That love is a lonesome river 
                   D 
running through a lonesome mind 

verse 2 


I took a plane to back when I  
     Bm 
was just a child that played 
D 
Time sure changed this old town  
        Bm 
oh it's not the same today 
     G 
As I try to meet old friends  
          A    A7 
none do I find 
 

[Refrão]

       D                 C 
Cause love is a lonesome river 
                  D 
running through a lonesome mind

There's trees along this river  
         C#m 
that are overgrown with pines 
        E 
There's pools along this river 
          C#m                  C#m7 
where the sun will never shine 
      A 
As I look into my heart  
              B          B7 
and count my loss I find
