[Intro]
G
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
G
All the weekend warriors touching down
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Leaving a black stain on this sacred ground
G
Ready and willing to feel wild
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Even the traffic's sings in tune, in perfect time

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Makes you feel like the wind is at your back
B C
Pushing the train to jump the track
Cm
Racing the night line, never slowing down

[Chorus]
D C
(Oh, oh)
G
They're all going downtown where the water goes
D C
(Oh, oh)
G
Singing nobody knows what the weather knows
D C
You had a good long run like the river man done
G
Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun
F C
I guess nobody told you how it goes
G
Who knows what the river man knows
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
G
All of the drifters sleeping in
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Rivеr man ties his shoes, he's clocking in
G
Swingеrs and tough guys leave when the bell rings
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Sundays at high tide and all the line are fraying

[Pre-Chorus]
Em B
You can pull up a chair and wear your beads
C
Dance in the moonlit Fleur-de-Lis
