[Verse 1]
[D]I get weary and sick of tryin'
[F#]I'm tired of l[D]ivin' and afraid of dyin'
But Old Man River,
it keeps on rollin' [A]along
Old Man [D]River!
This [G]is a tune
[D]dedicated to all the people who live in Brixton,
[G]London[D][G]
[D][A][G]
[A][D][A][Asus4]
[D][G][D]
I get weary and sick of trying
[G]I'm[D] of living.
[C#]And I'm [C#m]so sca[Bm]red of dying.[G]
But [A]old man River[Asus4],
he [A]just [Asus4]keep s rolling
[A]alo[Asus4]ng. yeah.[D][G][D]
Now I [F#]don't, you and me.
[C#]You got no strength
[F#]We sweat[F#m] and strain
[C#m]Don't you know[F#m]
Our bodies [C#]only
Get [F#m]wrecked
Wrecked with pain
[C#m]Wrecked with pain[F#m]
Down the [F#]labor exchange
[F#sus4][F#m]
Anywhere you [C#]go
You nev[F#m]er get the reward you nee[F#]d
[C#]And I tell h[F#m]er I'm[Bm] bitter for her
[E]you know [Em]how y[D]ou get sick of swearing
and sick of trying?
Don't you know you're tired of liv[A]ing
and you're [C]afraid of dy[G]ing?
[Bm]But old man River,
[G]he'll just keep rol[Asus4]ling alon[D]g
[G]Alone, [D]alone, [G]alone, [D]alone, alone
[G]In our hou[A]se there are four cha[D]irs
Lots of knives and forks, [D]here y 'all look
Me dad sits here
[C#m]Mother sits there
Me sister sits here
Me brother sits here
Me sister sits here
Me brother sits here
My uncle sits here,
Uncle Arthur sits here,
Brian sits here,
Neville sits here,
Doris sits here
showing all her knickers
when she comes [C#m]round to see me, like this. Anyway,
there are ladies who show their knickers,
big sort [C#m]of pink blue, sometimes blue,
down by the sea at Eastbourne.
