[Dm] [Bb]
[F] [Dm] [Bb] [C]
[F] James [Bb] River Blues,
[F] I just heard the [Bb] awful news
[F] I could steer [Bb] around the rocks,
[F] but they're busting down the docks
James [Bb]
[F] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] River Blues,
[F] that train [Bb] came on through
And [F] the work's [Bb] gotten slow,
[F] now where's the [Bb] boatman to go?
[Dm] Think I'll float [Bb] on down [Dm] to Richmond [Bb] Town
They [Dm] don't need us [Bb] anymore, hauling freight from [Dm] shore to shore
That big iron [Bb] haul's much more [C] than we [F] ever could before
I've [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
seen good men [Bb] going wrong,
[F] I've seen bad ones [Bb] getting right
[F] As that river [Bb] rolls along, [F]
I'll be stepping out [Bb] tonight
[Dm] On the cool [Bb] flow, [Dm] floating down, [Bb] down below
The [F] bridge to the [Bb] water's edge, [F] from the ridge to [Bb] the ledge
[Dm] From the hills [Bb] to the sea, [Dm] I'll become [Bb] a memory
