If I were born [E] to be [Bm] a river
If a river [B] is all I'd [E]
be
[Em] I'd tell [F#] the giver of [E] all of the rivers
[B] To make me [F#] the Tennessee
[Bm]
How many drops of rain roll [Em] off of how many window panes
Down to a valley low where a river like [F#] me begins to grow
[Bm] I sing a mournful song as [Em] I rush and ramble along
[Bm]
I [F#]
[E] [F#] [Bm]
bury secrets deep, I keep [Em] them down where the catfish creep
Where the rolling tide can't [F#] reach the things that I hide
[Bm] In
[E] [Em] the Alabama June
[F#] [C#m]
[Bm] And I [F#] say
[Bm]
When the Tennessee River runs low
[Em] When the sky is bright and clear, but not a [Bm] cloud above you
[Em] You can't float in knowing dear, that I was made to love [E] you
[Bm] When the storm [Em] is raging, all the light [Bm] is fading
[Em] The river sings along with me, reaching for that minor key
[Gm] [G] [C#m]
[Bm] Color me blue and gray, river [Em] carry me fast away
Flood all the rocks and rills,
[F#] humble the mighty Tennessee
See [Em] you down at the stormy sea
