[Intro] | A | % | % | % | | A | % | [Verse 1] A The day the river freezes Bm Is the day it won't seem fair D 'Cause they'll come to get the River Lady D A And I don't think they'll care A I know they'll scrape her paint off Bm In their same old foolish ways D Now the people see the river D A But the old ships gone away [Chorus] A D Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' A Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' C#m Away from her berth, round by the point D And out of our view D Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' A Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin' C#m A little goodbye, D a little I'll do what I must do E A little goodbye, D A a little I'll do what I must do [Verse 2] A I know I will remember Bm When I cannot hear that horn D That would roll up by the mountains D A As she took us through the storm A I know they've got to take her Bm But I can't say I approve D 'Cause she's won so many battles D A That I hate to see her lose [Chorus] A D Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' A Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' C#m Away from her berth, round by the point D And out of our view C#m A little goodbye, D a little I'll do what I must do E A little goodbye, D A a little I'll do what I must do A D Water turns cold and gets ta freezin' A Before you even know it, the old girl's easin' C#m Away from her berth, round by the point D And out of our view D Off in the mist, her engine's poundin' A Like on the banks, that old horn's soundin' C#m A little goodbye, D a little I'll do what I must do E A little goodbye, D A a little I'll do what I must do
