Lost River

	  		(C) There's a Lost River that flows 
(C7) In a (F) valley where no one (C) goes 
Where the (G7) wild water's (F) rush 
Rumbles (G7) deep in the (C) hush 
Gone far from there (C7) now 
Lord, (F) I'll get back some-(C) how 
To where the (G7) Lost River (F) winds 
In the (G7) shadow of the (C) pines 
 
Chorus 1: 
(C) Oh, Lost River, (C7) now (F) I'm coming (C) back 
To the (G7) pot-belly (F) stove 
Where the (G7) firewood's all (C) stacked 
Oh Quebec girl, go with (C7) me 
Oh my (F) belle, my fleur-de(C) -lis 
Where the (G7) Lost River (F) winds 
In the (G7) shadow of the (C) pines 
 
Now everybody knows 
Where that Lost River flows 
It's someplace he's lost 
Behind bridges that he's crossed 
Well, he'd like to return 
But his bridges are all burned 
And he's much too far down 
To return to higher ground 
 
Chorus 2: 
Oh Lost River, far over the ridge 
Now is it too late 
For me to build me a new bridge 
To the bright golden time 
When her love was still mine 
And the world was still wild 
Like the heart of a child 
 
Repeat Chorus 1
