[VERSE]
Blue [A]river
It can't be found on any [D7]map that I know
But it's the place where lonely [A]lovers all go
To cry their [E]tears (br[E]eak)

[VERSE]
Blue [A]river
It winds along a path of [D7]heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' [A]someone in vain
Like I loved [E]you, (b[E]reak)
And baby I still [A]do

[MIDDLE 8]
[D] I held you so tight
[A] You were out of my sight
[D] I'm feelin' so low
[B7] But [E]I gotta go

[VERSE]
Blue [A]river
Because you never really [D7]cared about me
From now on baby that's where [A]I'm gonna be
Cryin' over [E]you (br[E]eak)
By the river of [A]blue
