Wow, that's a great-looking camera you have there.
I like that.
It's brand new.
And what are these numbers for right [Cm] here?
I don't even know.
You don't know?
I haven't read the [Bm] book yet.
Hey, look [D] at this baby here.
Where you going with [Cm] that?
It is.
Hey, landy mace.
[E] Hook him, [Dm] baby.
That's a bad hat.
That doesn't come in your size.
[E] Hey, guy.
[B] Hey, [D] I
[Eb] [Cm] know I'm [G] the new guy, but do I have to carry [D] all Joe's stuff?
That's part of the job.
[C] Hey, you guys.
Let's [Bm] do a little bit of river, okay?
[Dm] Let's get it.
[D] Ready?
One, two, three.
[D] [G] [F] [E] [G] I [C] ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike [G] down no highway.
I ain't going nowhere,
being the [C] way I do.
Because my baby's long gone
and nothing's [G] going my way.
I'm gonna let this muddy water
to wash away [C] my blues.
It's gonna take a lot of river
to keep this [G] broken heart afloat.
Gonna take a lot of river
to run it all the live [C] long day.
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the Monongahela,
[G] and the Ohio.
Gonna take a lot of river
to wash these [C] blues away.
Well, I wish I was a tugboat
pushing and a [G]-pulling
them barges along.
Moving on the water
with a heart made of [C] iron and steel.
There would be no woman
who could ever take my love
[G] and then do me wrong.
I could work all day
[Em] with [F] nothing in the [C] world to feel.
It's gonna take a lot of river
to keep this [G] broken heart afloat.
Gonna take a lot of river
to run it all the [C] live long day.
Gonna take the Mississippi,
the [G] Monongahela,
and the Ohio.
Gonna take a lot of river
to wash these [C] blues away.
[F] Is she in New Orleans?
Is she [Ab] a Cajun [Bb] queen?
I wonder what [C] she's doing now.
[F] But if I know her,
she's got [Ab] brains and [Bb] furs.
Struggling along [F] somehow.
[G]
[F] [G] It's [C] gonna take a lot of river
to keep this [G] broken heart afloat.
Gonna take a lot of river
to run it [C] all the live long day.
Gonna take the Mississippi,

[G] and the Ohio.
