CHORUS:
D A I'll never swim Kern River again. A It was there that I met her. A E E7 It was there that I lost my best friend. D And now I live in the mountains. C#m D I drifted up here with the wind. A And I may drown in still water, E A But I'll never swim Kern River again.
VERSE
A I grew up in an oil town, D A But my gusher never came in. A And the river was a boundary A E (E7) E9 Where my darlin' and I used to swim. A One night in the moonlight D A The swiftness swept here life away. A And now I live on Lake Shasta and A E A Lake Shasta is where I will stay.
CHORUS
A There's the South San Joaquin, D A Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found. A And there's a place called Mount Whitney A E (E7) E9 >From where the mighty Kern River comes down. A Well, it's not deep nor wide, A D A But it's a mean piece of water my friend. A And I may cross on the highway, E A But I'll never swim Kern River again
