Bob Dylan – Watching the river flow

From: Harlan L Thompson 
 
 WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW- Bob Dylan
 
              E                           A
 What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say
   E                               F#
 Daylight's sneaking' through the window
                        B
 And I'm still in this all night cafe
    E                  
 Walking to and fro beneath the moon
                    A
 Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
     E                   B                    E       E/B E/Bb E/A E/F# B7
 Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow
 
 Wish I was back in the city instead of this ol' bank of sand
 With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops
 And the one I love so close at hand
 If I had wings then I could fly, I know where I would go
 But right now I just sit here so contentedly
 And watch the river flow
 
 BRIDGE #1:
    B
 People disagreein' on just about everything, yep
   E
 Makes you stop and wonder why
           C#m                            F#
 Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street
                     B
 Who just couldn't help but cry
 
 Chorus:
          E
 Wo, but this old river keeps on rollin' though
      A
 No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow
          E                     B
 And as long as it does I just sit here
                E          E/B E/Bb E/A E/F# B7
 And watch the river flow
 
 BRIDGE #2:
 People disagreein' everywhere you look
 Makes you want to stop and read a book
 Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
 That was a-really shook ...Chorus
 
 A           E       A                E       A
 Watch the river flow, watching the river flow
                E       A
 Watching the river flow
               E                       B 
 Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand
                      E   E/B E/Bb E/A  E  E7
 And watch the river flow
 
 E/B: x x x 4 0 0  E/Bb: x x x 3 0 0  E/A: x x x 2 0 0 
 E/F#: x x 4 2 0 0
 
 
 
 NOTE:  I may be weak on some of the blues turn arounds but I'm too lazy 
 To explain them in detail.  Sorry...
