Chords for Deep River Blues | Tommy Emmanuel

_ _ Hi, Tommy Manuel here. _
I'm a big Doc Watson fan and always have been _ and
_ _ I'm playing at Merlcest and I'm very honored to be asked to play there.
[G] _ I've been wanting to play _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ and
[Fm] _ Doc Watson [G] has been a great influence on so many people and
Finally got to play some shows with Doc many many years ago
And I first heard him back in the [N] early 70s in Australia, _ but this song I wanted to
_ Play for you and sing for you.
_ It's the first song I ever heard Doc _
Performing it's deep river blues _
And I've since found out that it I think the original version of this was the Delmore brothers
All you Google [G] meisters out there may be able to Google this and find out
I think the Delmore [G#m] brothers wrote it and it was called big river blues
But [G] I know it as deep river blues [F#] and I love the way Doc played it.
So here's a little tribute.
Hope you like [F]
