Tom: C C There's a Lost River that flows C7 F C In a valley where no one goes G7 F Where the wild water's rush G7 C Rumbles deep in the hush C7 Gone far from there now F C Lord, I'll get back some-how G7 F To where the Lost River winds G7 C In the shadow of the pines Chorus 1: C C7 F C Oh, Lost River, now I'm coming back G7 F To the pot-belly stove G7 C Where the firewood's all stacked C7 Oh Quebec girl, go with me F C Oh my belle, my fleur-de -lis G7 F Where the Lost River winds G7 C In the shadow of the 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 Tag: Where the Lost River winds In the shadow of the pines
