River Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was [C]bor[G]n a[D]nd[G]
raised on the [C]river,
it's the [D]only life that I [G]know
People around here put a [C]name on me,
and I [D]hear it wherever I go
[G]They call me River Boy, Riv[C]er Boy[D]
Good for [G]nothing, River Boy
Well, this old world don't
hold a [C]whole lot of joy
When you're [D]nothing but a River [G]Boy
I do a lot of fishin' on the [C]river
To [D]make my livin', you [G]see
When I take my catch to the [C]market place
The [D]people call out to me
[G]They say, hey[D], riv[G]er boy, hey, r[C]iver boy
You [D]got any fish today, river [G]boy?
Well, they want my wares,
but [C]nobody cares
About the [D]feelings of a river [G]boy
[Eb]There's a pr[Ab]etty girl
who works in [C#]the market
I [Eb]see her there most every d[Ab]ay
But when I stop and try to [C#]talk to her
I [Eb]can hear her daddy say
[Ab]Come away from that rive[Ab]r boy
[C#]He's a river boy
[Eb]Ain't nothing but a riff -raff,
[G]him[Ab] river boys
[G]No [Ab]gal of mine is gonna wast[C#]e her time
I'm a [Eb]good -for -nothin' river boy
[E]So I hea[A]d my boat up the riv[D]er
[E]Back to my old fishing [A]place
Afraid I'll make this old river [D]overflow
With the [E]tears a -fallin'
down my [A]face
Noth[E]in' but [A]a river boy
[D]River [E]boy
Good -for [A]-nothin' river boy
Well, this old world don't
hold a [D]whole lot of joy
when you're [E]nothing but a river [A]boy.
They call [D]me [A]river [D]boy, river [E]boy,
good for [A]nothing, river boy.
Well, this old world don't
hold a [D]whole lot of joy
when you're [E]nothing but a river [A]boy,
just a natural river boy.
