[C]
[G] Meet Mr [F] Jeffersons [C] River
The [G] Rivanna don’t you [F] know
It [G] brings thoughts of [F] you that make me [C] quiver
Oh [G] Rivanna you run [F] slow.
[C]
[G] River, River [F] call me, like [C] lover.
Show me [G] where your waters [F] flow
Your [G] current eased the [F] pain of my [C] brother
Is that [G] where I have to [F] go.
To [C] shake [G] myself
To [F] wake [C] myself
[F] Am I sleep[G]walkin'
Through my [C] life.
[C]
[G] Sitting on your [F] banks I hear a [C] whisper
Some say your [G] soothing waters [F] heal
[G] Why did you [F] swallow my [C] sister
Send me a [G] sign that I can [F] feel
Chorus
[C]
[G] River, river [F] call me, come and [C] take me
Oh [G] Rivanna don’t ya [F] know
Where my [G] life, love, and [F] dreams they will [C] take me
Where [G] do your waters [F] flow.
Can you a[C]vail [G] yourself
And help me [F] wake [C] myself
I [F] can’t be sleep[G]walkin'
Through my [C] life no [G] more
Chorus break x2
