Misc Soundtrack – A Complete Unknown - Big River (Guitar)

      D
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry

                                          E          A
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky

        D                                           G
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River

     D                   A            D
Then I’m gonna sit right here until I die

  D
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota

                                         E               A
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl

       D                                    G
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin’ in Davenport

      D                 A               D
And I followed you, Big River, when you called

         D
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river

                                           E                A
A freighter said she’s been here but she’s gone, boy, she’s gone

  D                                   G
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block

             D                A             D
She raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone

               D
Now, won’t you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on

                                 E            A
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans

   D                            G
Go on, I’ve had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf

D                  A                D
She loves you, Big River, more than me
