Intro: Em7b5Em7b5 D#m7b5D#m7b5 Dm7b5Dm7b5 E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE


A augmentedA     E MajorE      C#7C#7
Well I'm goin' down to the river

F#m7F#m7 B7B7     E MajorE  B7B7
I've got a cane pole in my hand

E MajorE   C#7C#7      F#m7F#m7         B7B7
I've got my redworms in a Maxwell house coffee can
     E MajorE      G#7G#7       A augmentedA          D9D9
I'm gonna sit under a shade tree on a riverbank where it's cool
     E MajorE         C#7C#7        F#m7F#m7   B7B7   E MajorE
I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let the cork Bob away my blues
E MajorE          C#7C#7      A7A7     D9D9
Well I wake up every mornin' I pick peaches all day
    E MajorE              C#7C#7
And on Saturday night we'll have a dance or two
      F#m7F#m7     B7B7  C7C7 B7B7
 we might wallow in the hay
    E MajorE          C#7C#7
Now the only thing that ever whipped my pa
     A7A7         D9D9
Was this bad dude called old age
    E MajorE            C#7C#7
And his last years were his best years
  F#m7F#m7      B7B7   E MajorE  C7C7 B7B7
And this is what he had to say
    A augmentedA                D9D9
He said boy I've worked this dirt all my life
      E7E7         E MajorE
but things ain't been good for awhile
F#m7F#m7
Why don't you move to the city make a little money
         B7B7        C7C7       B7B7
you might be the first one in the family ever to die with a smile
    E MajorE        C#7C#7
Well I took his advice things goin' well
    A augmentedA          D9D9
But my friends are far and few
  E MajorE       C#7C#7      F#m7F#m7       B7B7
But whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues

E MajorE       C#7C#7      F#m7F#m7       B7B7
Whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues
E MajorE       C#7C#7      F#m7F#m7       B7B7
Whoever said a city boy can't have them country blues
   C7C7        B7B7        E MajorE
Well honey they ain't talked to me and you
