F

[Verse 1]
---------------------
      F                                    G#5
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
F                                               G         C7
 And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear  blue sky.
             F                                     A#
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
        F                C7               F5 G#5
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F  F                                G#5    F
 I met her accidentally in St. Paul,  Minnesota.
                                               G               C7
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl,  Southern drawl.
       F                                     A#
Then I heard my dream went back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
      F                 C7                     F5 G#5
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.
F
 Oh, guitar

[Verse 3]
---------------------
F        F                              G#5        F
 Then you took me to St. Louis later on,  down the river.
                                                G                C7
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone,  boy, she's gone.
       F                              A#
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the bluff.
             F                         C7                 F5 G#5
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

[Verse 4]
---------------------
F               F                                       G#5       F
 Now, won't you bat it down by Baton Rouge, River Queen,  roll it on.
                                       G            C7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans,  New Orleans.
      F                         A#
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
F                  C7                  F5 G#5
She loves you, Big River, more than me.
F
 Ah, yeah!

F      F                                    G#5       F
 Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,  cry, cry
                                               G         C7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear  blue sky.
             F                                     A#
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
        F                C7               F5 G#5 F
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
