/ - slide into (from "nowhere") h - hammer-on [Verse 1]
E
Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y'all

E
Let me remember things I love, Lord

E
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite

C
Walkin' along the river road at night

A                                  E
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight
[Verse 2]
E
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, aw

E
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree, aw

E
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water

C
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to mother

A                                             E
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across the Green River

E
Well

E
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, y'all

E
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers

E
Old Cody Junior took me over

C
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smolderin'

    A                                      E
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River"

E
Well
[Outro]
E
     Come on home
