G                                     D
Driving home on the Mohawk Trail last night
     Em                               C
Am I nameless as the dry leaves in my headlights
       G                                                    D
When I saw a state trooper running out onto the French King Bridge
Em                                   C          G   D   Em   C
Flashlight sweeping the darkness over the edge

     G                                            D
On a fair day you can see the Green Mountains turn blue
Em                                                 C
Standing on the French King watching the river roll through
         G                                  D
And on a moonless night the black wind howls and moans
        Em                           C
And the river moves like a serpent a hundred feet below

   G                               D     Am
So roll on river, restless for the sea
                          C
Take this valley, wash it clean
G                                  D       Am
Who can say where a soul will find peace
                                 C
Who will keep the river from the sea

G   D   Em   C

  G                                                    D
I thought of a shepherd, his flock bedded down for the night
        Em                                        C
And the eyes of the wolves moving just beyond the firelight
       G                              D
And my own little child asleep in his bed
     Em                             C
As I drove on into the darkness up ahead

   G                               D     Am
So roll on river, restless for the sea
                          C
Take this valley, wash it clean
G                                  D       Am
Who can say where a soul will find peace
Who will keep the river from
C                                G
Who will keep the river from the sea
