Verse 1
E A
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah
E B
Let me remember things I love
E A
Stoppin’ at the log where catfish bite
E B E
Walkin’ along the river road at night
B E A E
Pickin’ up bones on the river shore
Chorus
E A E
Yeah, up at Green River where it flows
B A E
Let me remember things I love
E A E
Well, up at Green River where it flows
B A E B
That’s the place I love so well
Verse 2
E A E
Well, if I could just come back to that place again
B A E
I’d sit there on the bank and I’d watch it roll
E A E
And listen to the bullfrog callin’ me home
B A E
And I’d lie right down and take my rest
B E A E
Pickin’ up bones on the river shore
Chorus
E A E
Yeah, up at Green River where it flows
B A E
Let me remember things I love
E A E
Well, up at Green River where it flows
B A E B
That’s the place I love so well

E A E
Well, I can remember the nights I spent
B A E
With you, my love, in peace and quiet

We’d walk along the river road
B A E
And it felt so good inside
Verse 3
E A E
Now, at night I go out and I walk the streets
B A E
And I see the remnants of people’s dreams
E A E
I walk along the river road
B A E
And I wish I was a kid again
B E A E
Pickin’ up bones on the river shore
Chorus
E A E
Yeah, up at Green River where it flows
B A E
Let me remember things I love
