Verse 1
(C major) (Gsus4) (C major)
(Gsus4) Here we
(C major) all work on the Missis (F major) sippi,
Here we (C major) all work while the white folk (G major) s play,
(C major) Pullin' those boats
from the dawn to sunset,
(F major) (Gsus4) Gettin' (C major) no rest till (G major) the Judgment Day.
(C major) Don't (E minor) look up and don't
look down
You don't ask,
make the White Boss frown
Bend your knees (E flatdim) and
(E minor) bow your head
(E flatdim) An (E minor) d pull that rope (E flatdim) (E minor) until
you're dead (Gsus4) (G major)
Let me (C major) go away from the Mississippi
Let me (A major) go away from
the white man (D minor) boss
Show (F major) me (F minor) that stream called
(F major) River (C major) Jordan
That's (Gsus4) the old stream
that I (G major) long to cross (C major)
Old (G major) (C major) Man (F major) River,
that (C major) Old Man River (F major) ,
he (C major) must know something, (F major)
but he (C major) don't say noth (A minor) ing.
He just (D major) keeps (G major) rollin',
he keeps (D minor) on (G major) rollin' (C major) along. (F major) (C major)
(F major) He (C major) don't plant tater (F major) s,
and he don't (C major) plant cotton,
(F major) And them (C major) that (F major) plant some
is soon (C major) forgot (E flatdim) ten.
But (D major) old (D minor) man River (G major) ,
he just (D minor) keeps (G major) rolling along. (C major) (A minor)
(E minor) You and me, we sweat and strain,
Body aching and I'm wracked with pain.
Tote that march, lift that bale
Get a little drunk (A minor) and (E minor) you'll
land in jail (D minor) (G major)
(C major) Ah, gets weary (A minor) an (C major) d sick of try (F major) ing
I'm (C major) tired of (F major) livin' but fear (E minor) of (D major) dyin'
But (G major) old Man (A minor) River,
he just (D minor) keep (Gsus4) s rollin' (G major) along!
(C major) (F major) (C major)
Ol' Man River
