Chords with lyrics
C majorC G7G7
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
C majorC
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do
G7G7
Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way
C majorC
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues
G7G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
C majorC
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
G7G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio
C majorC
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
G7G7
Well I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
C majorC
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no woman that could ever
G7G7
Take my loving and do me wrong
C majorC
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel
G7G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
C majorC
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
G7G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio
C majorC
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
FF G# minorG#m
Is she in New Orleans is she a Cajun queen
A#A# C majorC
I wonder what she's doing now
FF G#G#
But if I know her she's got rings and furs
A#A# C majorC
Struggling along somehow
G7G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
C majorC
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
G7G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio
