[Em] [A] [Bm] [Am]
[A] [Am]
[A]
I was laying on the living Lord I ain't got to heaven but I feel alright
Small mouth jumping I'm rolling up something Gonna throw a little high water party tonight
Oh [E] Cumberland River, oh Cumberland River, oh Cumberland River
[D] Blowing through [A] the heart of a guitar town Oh [E] Cumberland River, [A] can't you hear me singing your [D] song?
Can't you hear [A] me singing your song?
John Boat plowing up the deep green water Look, here comes Jimmy with a slide ride built by him
String floating in the Tennessee sun Always sounds a little muddy when we're digging [D] down here
She runs wild, fast and [A] free Born in the mountains up in Kentucky
[D] They're heading for the falls of the Ohio [A] Ask me darling, don't you [E] wanna go?
[A] Oh [E] Cumberland River, [D] blowing through the [A] heart of a guitar town Oh [E] Cumberland River, [A] can't you hear me singing your [E] song?
[D] Can't you hear me [A] singing your song?
[C]
[D] [A]
[D] On [A]
[E] [Am] fire [A] burning on the banks of the river All the guys come a running when they smell the fish pie
[D] Bail for dancing when we [C#] dip into the [A] water I'll be loving this [B] river till the [C] day I [D] die
Locks and dams weren't made to [A] last There's nothing we can ever hold her [D] back
She can't be held by the hands of [A] man The Cumberland River is gonna [E] rise again
[A] Oh [E] Cumberland River, [D] blowing through the [A] heart of a guitar town Oh [E] Cumberland River, [A] can't you hear me singing your [E] song?
[D] Can't you hear me [A] singing your song?
