Intro: C C Am Am C C Am Am

C C Am Am C C Am Am
Old Man River, that Old Man River,
C C Am Am Em Em Am Am
He must know something, but he don't say nothing,
Dm Dm G G Dm Dm G G C C Am Am C C Am Am
That Old Man River, he just keeps on rolling along.
C C Am Am C C Am Am
He don't plant taters, don't plant cotton,
C C Am Am Em Em Am Am
and them that plants them are soon forgotten
Dm Dm G G Dm Dm G G C C Am Am C C B7 B7
But Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along.

Em Em Am Am Em Em Am Am
You and me, we sweat and strain,
Em Em Am Am Em Em Am Am
Body all aching and racked with pain.
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em B7 B7
Tote that barge, lift that bale,
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em Dm Dm G G
Get a little drunk and you land in jail.

C C Am Am C C Am Am
But I get weary, and sick of trying,
C C Am Am Em Em Am Am
Cause I'm tired of living, but I'm scared of dying,
Dm Dm G G Dm Dm G G C C Am Am C C B7 B7
And Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along.

Em Em Am Am Em Em Am Am
You and me, we sweat and strain,
Em Em Am Am Em Em Am Am
Body all aching and racked with pain.
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em B7 B7
Tote that barge, lift that bale,
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em Dm Dm G G
Get a little drunk and you land in jail.

C C Am Am C C Am Am
But I get weary, and sick of trying,
C C Am Am Em Em Am Am
Cause I'm tired of living, but I'm scared of dying,
Dm Dm G G Dm Dm G G C C
And Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along.

Outro: C C Am Am C C Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
