Deep River Blues Tab par Doc Watson

By; Doc Watson

For Baritone Uke
 
With every B7 at the end of a phrase (Second "deep river blues"), try;

Deep             Ri--------------------ver            blues.
[B7]          (→slide up one fret)    [B7]            [E]

I like to use two different A7 chords.
You can choose to use the variation on A7 if you choose.

        [A7]​     [A7var]      
e|-------0----------3-------|
B|-------1----------1-------|
G|-------0----------1-------|
D|-------1----------1-------|


[Chorus]

[E]Let it rain, [A7]let it pour, 
[E7]Let it rain a [A7var]whole lot more, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]Let the rain [A7]drive right on, 
[E7]Let the waves [A7var]sweep along, 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues. 


[E]My old gal's [A7]a good old pal, 
[E7]And she looks like a [A7var]water fowl, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]Ain't no one to [A7]cry for me, 
[E7]And the fish all go out [A7var]on a spree 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues.

[E]Give me back [A7]my old boat, 
[E7]I'm gonna sail [A7]if she'll float, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]I'm goin' back [A7]to Muscle Shoals, 
[E7]Times are better [A7var]there I'm told, 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues.
 
[Chorus]

[E]Let it rain, [A7]let it pour, 
[E7]Let it rain [A7var]a whole lot more, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]Let the rain [A7]drive right on, 
[E7]Let the waves [A7var]sweep along, 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues.


[E]If my boat [A7]sinks with me. 
[E7]I'll go down, [A7var]don't you see, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]Now I'm gonna [A7]say goodbye, 
[E7]And if I sink, [A7var]just let me die, 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues.
 
[Chorus]

[E]Let it rain, [A7]let it pour, 
[E7]Let it rain [A7var]a whole lot more, 
[E]'Cause I got them deep river [B7]blues. 
[E]Let the rain [A7]drive right on, 
[E7]Let the waves [A7var]sweep along, 
[E]'Cause I got them [B7]deep river [E]blues.
