Collin Raye - Big River guitar chord

BIG RIVER

Collin Raye

From the CD "IN THIS LIFE"

Intro

Now I (D) taught the weeping willow how to cry

and I showed the clouds how to (D7) cover up a (E7) clear blue (A7) sky

And the (D) tears that I cried for that woman they're gonna (G) flood you Big River

Then (D) I'm gonna sit right (A) here until I (D) die

I (D) met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota

And it tore me up every time I heard her (E7) drawl, Southern (A) drawl

Then I (D) heard my dream was back downstream cav(G)ortin' in Davenport

And I (D) followed you, Big (A) River, when you (D) called

Then you (D) took me to St. Louis later (G) on down the river

A (D) freighter said she's been here but she's (E7) gone, said boy, she's (A) gone

Well, I (D) found her trail in Memphis, but she (G) just walked up the block

She raised a (D) few eyebrows and then she (A) went on down a(D)lone

Solo

Now, won't you (D) batter down by Baton Rouge, River (G) Queen, roll it on

(D) Take that woman on down to New Or(E7)leans, New Or(A)leans

Go (G) on, Ive had enough; dump my (D) blues down in the gulf

She loves you, Big (A) River, more than (D) me

Now I (D) taught the weeping willow how to cry

and I showed the clouds how to (D7) cover up a (E7) clear blue (A7) sky

And the (D) tears that I cried for that woman they're gonna (G) flood you Big River

Then (D) I'm gonna sit right (A) here until I (D) die

Yeah, (D) I'm gonna sit right (A) here until I (D) die
