B       C#m            B            A7
Old Man Moon across the swampy river rise
B       C#m             B      A7
Cast a quiet reflection in your eyes
E                   B                      A7                E
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river

C#m          B                    A7
Hear the crickets singing for a mile 
        C#m          B               A7
And the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles
E                   B                      A7                E
Meet me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river

  E        C#m     B      A7    E    C#m     B  A7    E 
 It's like heaven when I love you    I'm so far a - way
         C#m         B7       A        E
 And you know all my favorite songs to sing
D5        C#m      B
 Know the words to say

B        C#m       B              A7
 So come follow me down the quiet side
  C#m                 B       A7
 Taste the old river deep and wide
 E                           B                       A7            E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river

C#m                 B     A7         E      C#m    B     A    E 
And the night bird calling and I'm falling more in love each day
C#m                B         A7         E       D5      C#m     B
Want you sit by my side and hold to my hand and love me all the way

B          C#m          B            A7
And we'll leave all the highways far behind
B         C#m          B                A7
And just take a little blanket with the wine
 E                           B                       A7            E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
 E                           B                       A7            E
And lead me beside the still waters and Let me love you down on the river
