[E] [A]
I have seen the paddle wheelers [D] rolling south on a [F#m] summer's day.
guardrails [D] with stars in [E] their [A] lemonade.
And I've heard the hobos gather, [D] heard their banjos grace [F#m] the glade,
river, called [D] it the lazy man's [A] parade.
Sing me that song about the river, [D] green going [F#m] away.
You [Bm] know I always did feel [A] like a drifter, about [E] this time [A] of day.
