[Verso 1] Em Up before the sun C All the tired gets chased away G The thrill of being young D And the promise of the day Em The creaking old door C Of a '79 ford G Jon boat in the back D Empty beer cans on the floor Em The rivers like a snake C As the Moonlight lingers on G Dancing eerie on the wake D In those seconds before dawn Em The sun reveals the surface C But theres so much underneath G Its hard to know what lies below D Like my old man and me [Refrão] G The Solomon River C Old and wise just like the king D The school room of my youth Em Taught me almost everything G I learned to face my fears, C and how to be a man D Some days are bettern others, Em Just gotta do the best you can G And boy, be humble, C Or youll leave with empty hands D All the lessons that I learned Em From the river and my dad [Verso 2] Em His blue eyes were mostly gentle C But Ive seen them filled with fear G Ive seen them flash with rage D And Ive seen them filled with tears Em Taught me how to fish and shoot C Although his words were few G I learned its not just what you say D Its really what you do Em On a muddy river bank C Or a tree stand in the woods G He passed down bits of wisdom D The only way he could [Ponte] Em Its been many years G since my father died D But like that muddy river Em Hes still winding through our lives Em We see him in the water, G And in everything thats true D Cuz just like me he learned some things Em from that old river too. [Refrão] G The Solomon River C Old and wise just like the king D The school room of my youth Em Taught me almost everything G I learned to face my fears, C and how to be a man D Some days are bettern others, Em Just gotta do the best you can G And boy, be humble, C Or youll leave with empty hands D All the lessons that I learned Em From the river and my dad
