Key of: G
Standard Tuning

Intro: (G  D/F#  Em  C) 2 x's

Verse 1:
G                   D/F#
She called it off the other night
Em 	  	         C
Thought everything would turn out right
G 	  	   D/F#
I guess she had all she could take
Em 	  	      C
She left my heart and soul to break
G 	  	   D/F#
I didn't know what else to do
Em  	  	          C
So I finished a bottle of 90 proof
G 	       D/F#
Left a message on the phone 
Em 	  	            C
Said I'm headed down around San Antone

(Chorus)
 	     G
I'm floating down this lonely river
      C
After everything I give her
        Am
She said I did her wrong, she had to be alone
       D
Now im trying to forget her
            G
I'm floating down this lonely river
      C
Trying hard to not remember
       Am
All the times we had, both the good and the bad
      D
Now I know I'm gonna miss her

             C       D    G
I'm floating down this lonely river

Interlude: (G  D/F#  Em  C) 2 x's

Verse 2:
G            D/F#
Met her there a year ago
Em                   C
On spring break down in Mexico
G              D/F#
Couple drinks and a couple songs
Em             C
Had her laughing all night long
G                D/F#
Said she was ready to settle down
Em                     C
So I took her back to my hometown
G            D/F#
All she wanted all along
        Em                 C
Was just another name on her telephone

(Chorus)  Same chords as Chorus 1

GUITAR SOLO:  G   D   Em   C   G  Em  D   C

Bridge:
Am 	                        C
I guess sometimes in life these waters run too fast
G 	                        D
But we can't spend all of our time living in the past
Am 	                               C
Like a piece of driftwood I'm out here floating all alone
          D 	           D
Trying to keep my heart above this water but it's sinking like a stone

(Chorus)
 	     G
I'm floating down this lonely river
     C
After everything I give her
        Am
She said I did her wrong, she had to be alone
       D
Now im trying to forget her
             G
I'm floating down this lonely river
       C
Trying hard to not remember
        Am
All the times we had, both the good and the bad
      D
Now I know I'm gonna miss her

                  C 	    D 	     Cm 	Cm 	 
I'm floating down this lonely river
