Banks Of New River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm sitting
here on the [C]banks of
New
[G]River
The river runs wide and
the river runs [Em]deep
Some places are [G]shadowed like your [C]love for me,
[G]darlin'
You've left me [Em]alone to
[D]mourn and to wee[G]p[C]
[G]I'm sitting [C]alone on the banks of
New
[G]River
Sitting [C]alone while the water rolls [D]by
And thinking [G]about all the
[C]white lies you [G]told me
And wondering [Em]why [C]I
[Dsus4]let you g[D]et by[G][C][G]
I'm sitting near on the [C]banks of
New
[G]River
Thinking about you and [Em]me I feel so
[G]lonesome without [C]you, my [G]darling
Your love is now [Em]lost, [D]forever to [G]me[C]
[G]I'm sitting [C]alone, on the banks of
New
[G]River
Sitting [C]alone while the water pours [D]by
And thinking [G]about all the
[C]white lies you [G]told me
And wondering [D]why [Em]I le[Dsus4]t you get [D]by[G]
[C][G][C][G][Em][G]
[C][G][D][Em][D][G][C][G]
I'm sitting here, on the [C]banks of
New
[G]River
Under the old second -floor [Em]tree,
I hear the [G]wind singing [C]out in the [G]treetops.
It seems to [Em]say [C]that[D]
you never loved [G]me[C]
[G]I'm sitting [C]alone on the
banks of your [G]river
Sitting [C]alone while the quarter rolls [D]by
And [G]thinking [G]about all the
[C]white lies you [G]told me
And wondering [Em]why I
[C]let[D] you get by

[Outro 1]
