Big River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Now [Fm]I taught
the [F]weeping willow
how to cry
And I showed the cloud
how to cover [G]up the clear blue [C]sky
All the [F]tears and pride for that woman
are gonna [Bb]flood you big river
[F]And I'm gonna sit[C] right here until I die[F][C][F]
I met her accidentally in San Paul,
Minnesota
And it [Fm]tore me up [F]every time
I heard [G]her draw something [C]wrong
I [F]heard my dream was back downstream,
Co[Bb]bolton in Devonport
So I [F]followed you big [C]river when you
[F]called[C][F][Bb]
[F][C][F][C][F][C][F]
Then you took me to St. Louis,
laid her on down the river
Afraid to say she's been here,
but she's [G]gone, boy, she's [C]gone
I [F]found her trail in Memphis,
but [Bb]she'd just walked up the block
She was a [F]few [C]miles,
then she walked down the [F]road[C]
And I want [F]you better down
by Baton Rouge,
Ripcreen rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New [G]Orleans,
New Or[C]leans
Go [F]on, I had enough,
I dug my [Bb]blues down in the Gulf
Yeah, she [F]loved [C]you, Big River,
more than [F]me [C]Gui[F]tar[Bb][C][G][F][Ab][F][C][F]
And now I taught the weepin' willow
how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the cloud
how to cover up the [G]clear blue [C]sky
All the [F]tears I cried for that woman
are gonna [Bb]flood you big river
And [F]I'm gonna sit right [C]here until I die

[Outro 1]
