Lazy River

Words & Music by Hoagy Carmichael & Sidney Arodin, 1931

D7                                 C7
Up the lazy river by the old mill run,

    G7                       G       G9
The lazy, lazy river in the noon-day sun,

C7
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree,

  F              C7        Bdim    F
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me.

D7                              C7
Up the lazy river, where the robin's song

  G7                                  G      G9
Awakes a brand new mornin' as we can loaf a-long.

 Bb            Bdim  F       E7          D7
Blue skies up above, ev'-ry-one's in love,

G7          C7          F    E7      D7
Up the lazy river, how happy you can be,

First Time:

G7          C7         F    Bb  F
Up the lazy river with me.

Last Time:

G7          C7            F6
Up the lazy riv - er with me.
