John Hiatt – The River Knows Your Name chords

The River Knows Your Name  (from the album: Walk On) By John Hiatt

Bb      F    Bb      FOh the river knows your name
       Dm       C               BbAnd your tears falling like the rain
    Dm         C             F    BbAll around you suffering and pain
      F      C          FOh the river knows your name

Bb      F      Bb       FAnd the river hears you cry
F      Dm        C               BbAs the lightning cracks the open sky
       Dm     C           F    BbAs your Momma sings a lullaby
      F      C         FOh the river she knows why

(Same chord pattern repeats all five verses)

Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down

Let the river take away
All the words what you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away

Oh the river knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash To the Seine
No two journeys are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name, Oh the river knows your name
