(I prefer playing a D7 just before the switch to G.)
D]Way up on Bear Creek
Watching the sun go down
GWay up on Bear Creek
Watching he sun go Ddown
Well, it A7makes me feel like
I'm on my last go D'round
DWell, the water up on Bear Creek
Tastes like cherry wine
Yeah, the Gwater up on Bear Creek
Tastes like cherry Dwine
One A7drink of that water
You stay drunk all the Dtime

DIf you stay up on Bear Creek
You'll get like Jesse James
If you Gstay up on Bear Creek
You'll get like Jesse DJames
You'll A7take two pistols
And rob that Bear Creek Dtrain
