G                                      C               G
If you don’t kiss the morning then the morning kisses you
                                      D
All it wants is for you to start your day
G                                   C              G
The current of the new day longs to send you down stream
                  D               G
It’s easier than going the other way

[Chorus]
C               G
Roll away roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am                   D7
But don’t forget to pray
C               G
Roll away roll away
C                        D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
         G
Start today

[Verse 2]
G                                        C                G
The world will always tell you that you have to swim upstream
                                 D
Its fuel is the sweat upon your brow
G                                C
There is another way to swim without risk to life and limb
G                D                G
Listen close and I will tell you how


[Chorus]
C               G
Roll away (hey) roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am                   D7
It surely knows its way
C               G
Roll away roll away
C                        D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
         G
Start today

[Interlude]
   Am
I know you faced the river down
G
Many years ago
   Em                           Am
It almost pulled you under once before
Am
There’s nothing to lose or win
G
All that’s asked is that you swim
C                            A7             D7
In this life the only sin is staying on the shore

[Verse 3]
G                                     C             G
You will find out who you are in the dark black of night
G                                  D
When you feel your life’s in disarray
G                              C
Let this song inspire you and light a simple fire in you
G               D           G
Be braver with each note I play

[Chorus]
C               G
Roll away roll away
C
Let the river take you
Am                   D7
But don’t forget to pray
C               G
Roll away roll away
C                        D7
Remember all tomorrow’s rivers
         G
Start today
