Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) Oh, I'll (C major) never swim
Kern River again (G major)
It was there that I met her
It was there that I lost my best friend (D major)
Now I (C major) live in the mountains
I (B minor) drifted up here where the wind (C major)
I may (G major) drown in still water,
but I'll (D major) never swim
Kern River again (G major)
I grew up in an oil town,
but my (C major) crusher never came (G major) in
The river was a boundary
where my darlin' and I used to swim (D major)
One night (G major) in the moonlight,
the (C major) swiftness swept her life (G major) away
Now (D major) (G major) I live on Lake Shasta,
Lake (D major) Shasta is where I (G major) will stay (D major) (G major)
There's the south of San Joaquin
where the (C major) seats of the Dust
Bowl are (G major) found
There's a place called Mount Whitney
where the mighty Kern River
comes (D major) down (C major) (D major)
Well, it's (G major) not deep nor wide,
but it's a (C major) mean piece of water, my friend (G major)
I may cross on the highway,
but I'll (D major) never swim
Kern River again (G major)
Oh, I'll (C major) never swim
Kern River again (G major)
It was there, it was there,
lost my best friend (D major)
Now I (C major) live in the mountains,
I (B minor) drifted out here where the wind (C major)
And I may (G major) drown in still water
But I'll (D major) never swim the
Outro 1
current river again
(D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
