D
There's a river that flows
            G
Through the middle of town
    D                  A
But they won't let you swim in it

D
And you can't go fishing
G
Or paddle a canoe
D
There's nothing they'll let you
A
Do in it

D
Now how am I ever
G
To realize my dream
D
Of building a raft
    A
And floating downstream?

D
How am I ever
G
To realize my dream
   D
Of floating downstream
   A         D
To freedom?
