Bruce Springsteen – Erie Canal (Guitar)

  Em        B7         G       Em/B
I've got a mule, and her name is Sal,

 Em/B             B7     Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.

 (Em)    Em       B7          G        Em/B
She's a good ol' worker an' a good ol' pal,

 Em/B             B7      Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.

  G                       D
We've hauled some barges in our day,

  Am            C
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay,

  Em         B7         G           Em/B
And we know every inch of the way

 (Em/B)         B7   Em
From Albany to Buffalo.

  G           D
Low bridge, everybody down!

  G           D                       Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!

 (Em)        Em                B7
And you'll always know your neighbor,

   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,

  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

      Em           B7              G        Em/B
We'd better look around for a job, ol' gal,

 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!

            Em       B7           G               Em/B
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal,

 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!

  G                      D
Git up there, mule, here comes a lock,

  Am                  C
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock,

  Em      B7         Em/B        G
One more trip and back we'll go

 (Em/B)             B7   Em
Right back home to Buffalo.

  G           D
Low bridge, everybody down!

  G           D                       Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!

 (Em)        Em                B7
And you'll always know your neighbor,

   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,

  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

      Em           B7              G        Em/B
Where would I be if I lost my pal

 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!

   Em       B7       Em    G               Em/B
'I'd like to see a mule good as my Sal,

 (Em/B)               B7   Em
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal!

  G                      D
A friend of mine once got her sore,

  Am                  C
Now he's got a broken jaw,

  Em      B7         Em/B        G
'Cause she let fly with an iron toe

 (Em/B)             B7   Em
And kicked his ass to Buffalo.

  G           D
Low bridge, everybody down!

  G           D                       Em
Low bridge, for we're comin' through a town!

 (Em)        Em                B7
And you'll always know your neighbor,

   E                 G
You'll always know your pal,

  E                           B7    Em
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
