WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW- Bob Dylan TUNING: E B E G# B E A E A TURNAROUND 1 A D What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say A B Daylight's sneaking' through the window E And I'm still in this all night cafe A Walking to and fro beneath the moon D Out to where the trucks are rolling slow A E A TURNAROUND 2 Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go But right now I just sit here so contentedly And watch the river flow TURNAROUND 3 BRIDGE #1: E People disagreein' on just about everything, yep A Makes you stop and wonder why F#m B Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street E Who just couldn't help but cry CHORUS: A Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though D No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow A E And as long as it does I just sit here A TURNAROUND 1 (1ST TIME, 2ND TIME TO OUTRO) And watch the river flow SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS, END WITH TURNAROUND 3) BRIDGE #2: People disagreein' everywhere you look Makes you want to stop and read a book Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was a-really shook ...CHORUS OUTRO: D A D A D Watch the river flow, watching the river flow A D Watching the river flow A E Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand A TURNAROUND 1, BUT END ON A7 And watch the river flow CHORDS: TURNAROUND 1: A D E B F#m A7 A E7 E -5--10--0--7---2---5--- ---5---5---5--------7-- B -5--10--0--7---2---8--- --5---5---5------5--5-- G# -5--10--0--7---1---5--- -8---7---6------5-5-6-- E -5--10--0--7---2---5--- -------------5-5----7-- B -5--10--0--7-------5--- ----------------------- E -5--10--0--7---2---5--- ----------------------- TURNAROUND 2 A E A E -----5-----5-----5----5-5-3p0------------------------------------------ B ---5-----5-----5--------------------0-3-5------------------------------------ G# -8-----7-----6--------------------------------------------------------------- E -------------------5----------------------0-0-------------------------------- B ----------------------------------------------3-3-0-0------------------------ E ------------------------------------------------------4-4--0-0-2-2-3-3-4-4-5- TURNAROUND 3 A E E -----5-----5-----5----------------------- B ---5-----5-----5------------------------- G# -8-----7-----6--------------------------- E ------------------5-----5-----4-----2---- B ----------------------5-----4-----2------ E --------------------5-----4-----2------0- ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
