Michael Hurley – New River Blues (Guitar)

E                B7           A
As the new river flows in the night

           E                              Esus4 E B7
Somewhere, honey, some old hog is stompin' on the bog

       E            E7             A     A6 A
Like a free, like a free stream of light

               E           B7    E
My heart jumps straight to you tonight

E                          B7                A
Cause you're pretty, lordy knows, and you're fair

        E                    Esus4 E B7
And you seem like you kind've linger there

       E           E7          A     A6 A
Like a hot, like a hot burnin' flame

               E           B7   E
My heart jumps straight to you again

E                 B7                 A
For I knew, lordy knows, that you're there

        E               Esus4 E   B7
And the New River flow 'round the town

        E           E7             A    A6 A
And the king-fisher fishin' in the shoal

               E              B7        E
My heart jumps straight right out of my soul

E          B7             A
A catfish, catfish on the bottom

       E                          Esus4     E  B7
I'm up here with the blues, lordy knows that I got 'em

  E                  E7            A  A6 A
I hope the moonbeams shine down to you

                E        B7          E
So you can sing away the whole night through

       E         B7           A
As the new river flows in the night

           E                             Esus4 E B7
Somewhere, honey, some old hog is stompin' on the bog

       E            E7             A     A6 A
Like a free, like a free stream of light

               E           B7   E
My heart jumps straight to you tonight
