The river of no Return

Written by Ken Darby/Lionel Newman

	  		
Intro: D   Bm      D        Bm                    
               Mmm. 
          G                      Em              D     Bm          D     D7 
  If you listen, you can hear it call :  wail-a-ree !     (wail-a-ree) 

G         Bm     G7                C       Cm    G 
    There      is a river called The River Of No Return; 
                   Bm            Em                   D 
    sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free! 
G           Bm        G7              C       Cm    G 
     Love       is a trav'ler on The River Of No Return, 
Em          G    Bm       Em        C            D     G 
    swept on forever       to be lost in the stormy sea. 
             G 
    (Wail-a-ree) I can hear the river call (no return, no return) 
    No return, no return (wail-a-ree). 
         Bm            Em            C                   D 
   I can hear my lover call, "Come to me." (no return, no return) 

       D7      G   Bm          G7          C        Cm         G 
    I lost my love     on the river and forever my heart will yearn, 
     G      Em          Bm      Em           C        D    G 
    Gone,      gone forever     down The River Of No Return. 
                                        C   G 
   Wail a ree (wail-a-ree-ee), wail-a-ree. 
           C       D       G 
    He'll never return to me! (no return, no return)
