[tab]D                        G
I just heard the awful news

D                          G
I could steer around the rocks

D                              G
But they're bustin' down the docks
D G D G
D                 G
   James River blues

D                     G
That train came on through

D                       G
And the work's gotten slow

D                         G
Now where's a boat man to go?

             Bm        G
I think I'll float on down

   Bm         G
To Richmond town

Bm                     G
They don't need us anymore

                               Bm
Haulin' freight from shore to shore

                          G
That big iron hauls much more

        A
Than we ever could before
D G D G D G Bm G Bm G A
D                          G
I've seen good men going wrong

D                           G
I've seen bad ones get it right

D                      G
As that river rolls along

D                       G
I'll be stepping out tonight

       Bm    G
On the cool flow

         Bm           G
Floatin' down, down below

    Bm                    G
The bridge to the water's edge

         Bm            G
From the ridge to the ledge

         Bm            G
From the hills to the sea

       Bm         G  A
I'll become a memory

D              G
