VERSE

        D                  F         Am7        D      
She moved back around here thirty-five weeks ago today
    G/D        D			
Oh down the lane
 D				                                   F	              	Am7	
At night she walks on the banks and remembers how she
D		                 	G/D
Dreamed of rowing away
			D			
And how she left one day

    Am7		                           	G/D
She left with a driven look in her eyes
				D
Came back around with it still inside
Am7					G/
They said give it some time and you'll forget about it too
		          D	
We know they always do


CHORUS
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_hornsby/across_the_river_crd.html ]
D                 
Well i know some fine day
C		        G		     D
You will find your way across the river
D
Row down slow
                 C	       G
There's a long way to go
		D
Across the river


VERSE

She was proud and so strong
And she tried not to listen to idle talk
Downtown where she walked
They sit around and they say
That she came back with her tail between her legs
Like they always said she would

Well i hear it's better on the other side

They say you'll never do it so don't even try
Well you may be beaten downwith your closed mind
But don't try and make it mine
Well i know

Some fine day
You will find your way across the river
Row down slow
There's a long way to go
Across the river

"your wild days are through" is what they said
I dreamed she came, when i was down and
I walked where she led

Standing on the shore
She looks to the west with a look of longing
To where the grass seems greener
There's a hard and distant prize
It probably won't happen but i think i'll try
Well even if it doesn't happen for me
It still beats hanging around here
Well i know Some fine day
You will find your way across the river
Row down slow
There's a long way to go
Across the river
