C    G        Am        G          C
Blue mountain river, if only for a while,
C       G      Am         G                C
Take me to the river, and lay down by your side,
    Em                Am           C       G       Am
The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile,
     F     G              Am         G              C
I'll sleep within through winter and wait for summertime.

(The rest of the verses are exactly the same)

Blue mountain river, comfort me a while,
I 'll follow down the river, follow you til night
I listen to you whispers, you dance in time to mine,
We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky.

Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while,
You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind,
Let these days go on forever, I 'll leave in my own time,
Take me where you're going and I 'll be right by your side.

Blue mountain river, I went there for a while,
I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside,
When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide,
My blue mountain river is there right by my side.
