Аккорды The Highwaymen - Big River

Tuning: Standard

[Intro]
E

[Chorus]
  E
I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
                                          F#          B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear, blue sky
        E                                      A7
And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
    E                    B7           E
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die

[Verse 1]
  E
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
                                           F#              B7
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
      E                                   A7
And I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
      E                 B7               E
And I followed you, big river, when she called

[Break]
E    A    E    B7    E

[Verse 2]
        E
Oh, she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river
                                              F#               B7
A freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone"
      E                                   A7
And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block
         E                B7            E
Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone

[Verse 3]
      E
Well, I pulled into Natchez next day, down the river
                                                  F#        B7
But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long
     E                          A7
When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me cry
    E                B7            E
Big river, why's she doing me this way?

[Break]
E    A    E    B7    E

[Verse 4]
                E
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
                                  F#           B7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
   E                             A7
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
E                  B7                E
She loves you, big river, more than me

[Chorus]
  E
I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
                                          F#         B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
        E                                      A7
And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
    E                   B7           E
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
