RIVER BY YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND G Em The river rolls and the river winds C G D And it seems to do something for my peace of mind G Em Though I didn't know it, I came here looking to find C D A place to forget about my troubles for awhile D G C I saw a mother with her little baby when I was walking here D G C There's something 'bout a little baby that makes me laugh D G They don't seem to have a care C Em D And I wonder if I'm ever gonna feel that way again C D G Until then, I'll find some time to spend down by the river Then this repeats for the other verses I spend a lot of time looking forward Looking back and looking down at my feet upon the ground I fell backwards and when I opened my eyes I found myself staring straight up in the sky And it seemed like there was something there to learn When I realized I had nowhere else to be And the only sound that mattered was the wind that blowed so gentle through the trees Such a harmony down by the river Well I heard music, it was soft and clear And I sang out for the first time, I didn't care who would hear Because I found my answers in the wind and waves And the magic in the little things that happen every day And I played that tune on my old mandolin And I didn't hurt at all for company tabbeb by matt
