{c: } 
The [G] day the river freezes, 
is the [Am] day, it won`t seem fair,
cause they`ll [C] come to get the River Lady,
and I don`t [D] think they`ll [G] care.
 
I [G] know they`ll scrape her paint off, 
in the [Am] same old foolish ways,
now the [C] people see the river, 
but the old ship`s [D] gone [G] away.

Water turns [C] cold and gets to freezin`,
before you even [G] know it, the old girl`s easin,`
away from her [Em] berth, round by the [Bm] point, 
and out of our [C] view.
Up in the mist her engine`s pounding,
back on the [G] banks that old horn sounding,
A little good-[Bm]bye, a little I`ll [C] do what I must [Cm] do,
A little good-[Bm]bye, a little I`ll [D] do what I must [G] do. 

I [G] know I will remember, 
when [Am] I cannot hear that horn,
that would [C] roll up by the mountains,
when she took us [D] through the [G] storm.

I [G] know, they`ve got to take her, 
but I [Am] can`t say I`ll approve,
cause she`s [C] won so many battles, 
that I hate to [D] see her [G] lose.
{c: Repeat chorus until tired !!}
