Gonna Take a Lot of River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I a[C]in'[G]t g[Bm]onna [G]ri[F]de[C][G][C]
no rail or hitchhike down no [G]highway
I ain't going nowhere feeling
the way I [C]do
Because my baby's long gone
and nothings going [G]my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water
just wash away my blues.
[C]

[Verse 2]
Gonna take a lot of river,
To keep this broken [G]heart afloat,
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long [C]days,
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the Monongahela and the [G]Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
[C]

[Verse 3]
Well, I wish I was tug boat pushing and
pulling them [G]barges along
Moving on the water with a heart
made of iron and [C]steel
There wouldn't be no women that could
ever take my loving [G]and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing
in the world to feel.
[C]

[Verse 4]
Gonna take a [G]lot of [C]river
To keep this broken [G]heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long [C]days
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the Monongahela and the [G]Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
[C]

[Verse 5]
Is she in [F]New Orleans
Is she a [Ab]cajun queen
I [Bb]wonder what she's doing [C]now
But if [F]I know her she's got r[Ab]ings and furs,
[Bb]struggling along some[G]how.
[F][G]

[Verse 6]
Gonna take a lot of [C]river
To keep this broken [G]heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long [C]days
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the Monongahela and the [G]Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away.
[C]

[Verse 7]
Gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken [G]heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long [C]days
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the Monongahela and the [G]Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river

[Outro 1]
To wash these blues away
