Verse 1
(D major) Steamboat Bill (A major)
Steamboat (D major) Bill was a merry old man
He never was satisfied when on land
The Mississippi River was
his stomping ground
The river ain't the same
since he's not around
(D minor) He used to (G major) race, race,
race down the river (D major)
He never did (G major) slow down
for the weather (D major)
He'd (A major) burn up the cauldron
if he run out of coal
Just to watch that steering
wheel roll (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
There was a good man with a Robert E. Lee
He thought that boat just
couldn't be beat
I'm tellin' you a for (A major) the (D major) younger race
To show them how he (A major) had to face
(D major) He (D minor) used to race, race, (G major)
race down the river (D major)
He never did (G major) slow down (D minor)
(G major) for the (D major) weather
He'd (A major) burn up the (F major) cargo
(A major) if he run out of coal
Just to watch that turnwheel (D minor) roll (D major) (A major) (D major)
Rain or shine, he had to go
He had to plow through ice (A major) and snow
(D major) He was a race where the whippoorwill
That took the life of steamboat (A major) Bill
(D major) He used to (G major) race, race,
race down the river (D major)
He never (D minor) did slow down (G major)
for the weather (D major)
He'd (A major) burn up the cargo
and run out of coal
Just to watch that stern
wheel roll (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
When you see a boat come
down the stream,
Going so fast and in full stream,
The people all think it's a ghost of (D minor) Bill,
(D major) Trying to catch (D minor) that quiver wheel.
Well, used to (G major) race, race,
race down the (D major) river
We never did (G major) slow down
for the weather (D major)
We'd (A major) burn up the cargo
and run out of coal
Just to watch that stern wheel roll
(D major) (A major)
