Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:
 (single stroke)

          Am      D    Am
If I were born to be a river
     Am       D       Am
If a river is all I'd be
Dm           E7        Am         D
I'd tell the giver of all of the rivers
   Am          E7     Am
to make me the Tennessee

Verse 1:
Am                                 Dm
How many drops of rain roll off of how many window panes
                                        E7
down to a valley low where a river like me begins to grow
Am                          Dm
I sing a mournful song as I rush and ramble along
E7                                Am
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

Verse 3:
Am                               Dm
I bury secrets deep I keep them down where the catfish creep
                                       E7
where the rolling tide can't reach the things that I hide
Am                           Dm
I hum a mournful tune in the Alabama June
E7                               Am
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

Chorus:
      E7             Am             E7                      Am        E7          Am
I say oh di di di di oh do do do do oh oh oh oh oh even the Tennessee river runs low

Bridge:
Dm
When the sky is bright and clear
            Am
not a cloud above you
Dm
you can float in knowing dear
                   E7
that I was made to love you

Dm
When the storm is raging
                 Am
All the light is fading
    Dm
The river sings along with me
E7
reaching for that minor key

Verse 4:
Am                            Dm
Color me blue and grey river carry me fast away
                              E7
Flood all the rocks and rills humble the mighty hill
Am                           Dm
I am the Tennessee, see you down at the stormy sea
E7                               Am
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

Chorus:
      E7             Am             E7                      Am        E7          Am
I say oh di di di di oh do do do do oh oh oh oh oh even the Tennessee river runs low
    E7                   Am
The Tennessee river runs low
         E7                    Am
Even the Tennessee river runs low
