[D]James River blue[G]s
[D]I just heard the awful ne[G]ws
[D]I could steer around the ro[G]cks
[D]But they're bustin' down the do[G]cks

[D]James River blu[G]es
[D]That train came on thr[G]ough
[D]And the works getting sl[G]ow
[D]Now where's a boat man t[G]o go?

[Bm]I think I'll float on d[G]own
[Bm]To Richmond to[G]wn
[Bm]They don't need us anym[G]ore
Haulin' freight from shore to s[Bm]hore
That big iron hauls much mo[G]re
Than we ever cou[C]ld before

[D] [G] [D] [G]

[D]I've seen good men going wr[G]ong
[D]I've seen bad ones get it ri[G]ght
[D]As that river rolls alo[G]ng
[D]I'll be stepping out ton[G]ight

[Bm]On the cool fl[G]ow
[Bm]Floatin' down, down be[G]low
[Bm]The bridge to the waters ed[G]ge
[Bm]From the ridge to led[G]ge
[Bm]From the hills to the s[G]ea
[Bm]I'll become a me[G]mory[C]
