Gonna Take A Lot Of River chords by The Oak Ridge Boys

C                                               G7
I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway

                                        C
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do

                                               G7
Because my baby's long gone and nothings going my way

                                                 C
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues


                                              G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat

                                                    C
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day

                                                   G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio

                                              C
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away


                                                           G7
Well I wish I was tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along

                                                  C
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel


There wouldn't be no woman that could ever

                         G7
Take my loving and do me wrong

                                                  C
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel


                                              G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat

                                                    C
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day

                                                   G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio

                                              C
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away


          F                    G#m
Is she in New Orleans is she a Cajun queen

  A#                      C
I wonder what she's doing now

       F                    G#
But if I know her she's got rings and furs

A#                   C
Struggling along somehow


                                              G7
Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat

                                                    C
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day

                                                   G7
Gonna take the Mississippi the Monongahela and the Ohio

                                              C
