[Bb]
[G] [F] [Bb]
I'm going [C] away, [C] cause I got a [F] busted heart [Bb] I'm leaving today, [C] cause my travel [F] all stopped
[Dm] I reckon where [Bb] I'm headed,
[C] I might need [F] me different clothes
Way up in [C] Michigan,
[Bb] where [C] the laughing river [F] flows
[C]
[Bb] [F]
Twenty years in the minor [Gm] leagues, [Bb] ain't [C] no place I didn't [F]
go
Well I got a [C] few hits, but I never [F] made the show
[Dm] And I could hang on [Bb] for a few years, [C] doing what I've [F] done before
I wanna hear the [C] laughing river, [Bb] [C] flowing right [F] outside my door
[C]
[Bb] [C] [F]
My [C] cousin Ray, [Bb] [C] said he's got [F] a job for me
Where the houses [C] are cheap, [Gm] [Bb] and he knows [F] this nice lady
[Dm] He said she [Bb] even saw me play once, [C] said she [F] smiled at my name
Well up on the [C] laughing river, [Bb] could be a [F] whole new game
[C] [Bb] [C]
[F] So goodbye to [C] the bus, [Bb] and [C] goodbye to [F] paying dues
Goodbye to [C] the cheers, [Bb] and goodbye [F] to the booze
[Dm] Well I'm [Bb] trading in this old bat, [C] for [F] a fishing pole
I'm gonna let the [C] laughing river, [Bb] flow right [F] into my soul
And I'm going [C] away, [Bb] cause [C] I got a busted [F] heart
I'm leaving [C] today, [Bb] cause my [F] travel all stopped
[Dm] And I reckon [Bb] where I'm headed, [C] I might need me different clothes
[F] Way up [C] in Michigan, [Bb] [C] where the laughing [F] river flows
Way up in [C] Michigan, [Bb] [C] where the laughing [F] river flows
Way up in [C] Michigan
