[Verse 1]
[D][A][D][G][D][Bm][G][A][D]
Let me
go away [G]from the Mississippi,
[D]Let me go away from the white man boss,
[A]Show me [D]that stream called the
River Jord[G]an[Gm]
[D]That's the old stream that
[Bm]I long [A]to [D]cross[Bm][Em][A]
Old [D]Man River[Bm],
that [D]Old Man [G]River,
[D]He must know [G]somethin',
but don't [D]say noth[Bm]in'
He [A]just keeps rollin',
he keep[Em]s on ro[A]llin' al[D]ong.[Bm][Em]
[A]He don't lik[D]e tat[Bm]ers,
he [D]don't like cot[G]ton,
And [D]them that [Bm]lonesome is [F#m]soon f[D]orgott[Fdim]en,
[Ddim]
[Fdim]But old [Edim]Man Rive[A]r,
[Asus4]he just keeps rol[Em]ling [A]along.[D][G][D]
[C#]You and [F#m]me, we[Bm] swea[F#m]t and strain,[Fdim]
Body [F#m]all achin' and racked with pain,
[Fdim]Tote tha[F#m]t barg[C#]e, lift that[F#m] bale,[C#]
[F#m]Get a little drunk [C#]and you'll land
[F#m]in jai[Asus4]l.[A]
[D]I get weary a[Bm]nd sick o[D]f tr[G]ying.
I'm [D]tired of [Asus4]liv ing and[A]
[Bm]fed of dyi[E]ng,
[D]but I'm a [Bm]believer in [Em]those
people [A]who are [D]alive![G][D]
You
