Garth Brooks, The River (1991)
^{Key: :[G#] (w: Victoria Shaw, Garth Brooks)}

INTRO: [G#] [D#]

VERSE 1:
You know a [D#] dream is like a river
Ever [G#] changin' as it [D#] flows
And a [G#] dreamer's just a [D#] vessel
That must [Fm] follow where it [A#] goes
Trying to [D#] learn from [G#] what's be-[D#]-hind you
And never [G#] knowing what's in store
Makes each [D#] day a [G#] constant [D#] battle
Just to [A#] stay between the [D#] shores [G#] [D#]

CHORUS:
I will [D#] sail [G#] my [D#] vessel
'Til the [G#] river runs [D#] dry
Like a [G#] bird upon the [D#] wind
These [Fm] waters are my [A#] sky
I'll never [D#] reach my [G#] desti-[D#]-nation
[G#] If I never try
So I will [D#] sail [G#] my [D#] vessel
'Til the [A#] river runs [D#] dry

VERSE 2:
Too many [D#] times we stand aside
And let [G#] waters slip a-[D#]-way
'Til what we [G#] put off 'til to-[D#]-morrow
Has [Fm] now become to-[A#]-day
So don't you [D#] sit up-[G#]-on the [D#] shoreline
And [G#] say you're satisfied
[D#] Choose to change the rapids
And [A#] dare to dance the [D#] tide [G#] [D#]
