Gonna Take A Lot Of River
By The Oak Ridge Boys
12/15/2008
Not sure on the last chord of the bridge
C G
I ain’t gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
G C
I ain’t going nowhere feeling the way I do
C G
Because my baby’s long gone and nothings going my way
G C
I gonna let this muddy water just a-wash away my blues
Chorus:
C G
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
G C
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
C G
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
G C
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away
Well I wish I was a tugboat a-pushing and a-pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn’t be no woman that could ever take my love and then do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel
Chorus
Bridge:
F G#m
Is she in New Orleans is she a Cajun queen
A# C
I wonder what she’s doing now
F G#
But if I know her she’s got rings and furs
A# C
Struggling along somehow
Chorus
