Big River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, [G]I t[D]aug[A]ht[D]
Weepin'
Willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to
cover up a [E]clear blue sky
[A]But the tea[D]rs I cried for that woman
are gonna [G]drown you, big river
And [D]I'm gonna sit right [A]here until I [D]die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
Minnesota
And it tore me up every time
I heard [E]her girl salute roll
[A]Then I h[D]eard my dream
went back downstream
to Whar[G]ton in Devonport
And I fol[D]lowed you, Big [A]River,
when [D]you called Guitar

[Interlude 1]
[D][E][A]
[D]

[Verse 2]
Billy [G]Bird[D][A][D]
Then you took me to St. Louis
Later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here
But [E]she's gone, boy, she's gone
[A]But I fou[D]nd a trail in Memphis
But [G]she just walked up the bluff
She raised a [D]few eyebrows
and [A]then went down [D]along
Oh, won't you bat a look
down by Baton Rouge,
river queen rolling on
The day that woman on down
in New Or[E]leans, New Orleans
[A]Gon[D]e, I've had enough,
I've done my [G]blues down in the Gulf
Cause [D]she loves you bigger,
[A]more than me[D]
Well, I talked, we did blow
I cried, cried, cried
I the clouds had a color of [E]a clear blue sky
[A]But the tea[D]rs I cried for that woman
are gonna [G]drown you big river
And [D]I'm gonna sit right [A]here until I die
[D][A]
