Verse 1:
E
Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y’all
E
Let me remember things I love, Lord
E
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
C
Walkin' along the river road at night
A                                  E
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

Verse 2:
E
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, aw
E
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree, aw
E
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
C
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to mother
A                                             E
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across the Green River
E
Well


Guitar Solo:
E      C   A   E


Verse 3:
E
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, y'all
E
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
E
Old Cody Junior took me over
C
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smolderin'
    A                                      E
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River"
E
Well


Outro:
E
     Come on home
