"O Cumberland River"
A
Built a little shanty by the Cumberland River
E A
But the rainstorm started and the water did rise
A
Wildcat winds and ten foot rollers lordy
E A (Ride the A one extra time)
Bless my soul, it was a hell of a ride
A
Eyes popped open I was laying on the levy
E A
Lord I ain't got to heaven but I feel alright
A
Smallmouth jumping I'm rolling up something
E A
Gonna throw a little high water party tonight
A E
O Cumberland River
D A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town
A E
O Cumberland River
D A E D
Can't you hear me singing your song
D A
Can't you hear me singing your song
A
John boat plowing up the deep green water
E A
Looky yonder comes Jimmy with the Sly Rye beer
A
Five string floating in the Tennessee sun
E A
Always sounds a little muddy when we pick it down here
D
She runs wild, fast and free
A
Born in the mountains up in Kentucky
D
Heading for the falls of the Ohio
A E
Asking me darling, don't you wanna go?
A E
O Cumberland River
D A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town
A E
O Cumberland River
D A E D
Can't you hear me singing your song
D A
Can't you hear me singing your song
A
Bonfire burning on the banks of the river
E A
All the girls come running when they smell the fish fry
A
Barefoot dancing when we dip into the water
E A
I'll be loving this river 'til the day I die
D
Locks and dams weren't made to last
A
There's nothing we can build to ever hold her back
D
She can't be held by the hands of man
A E
The Cumberland River is gonna rise again
A E
O Cumberland River
D A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town
A E
O Cumberland River
D A E D
Can't you hear me singing your song
D A
Can't you hear me singing your song
