Old Crow Medicine Show – O Cumberland River (Guitar)

A
Built a little shanty by the Cumberland River

                                  E         A
But the rainstorm started and the water did rise

A
Wildcat winds and ten foot rollers lordy

A         
Eyes popped open I was laying on the levy

                                 E      A
Lord I ain't got to heaven but I feel alright

A
Smallmouth jumping I'm rolling up something

                                E       A
Gonna throw a little high water party tonight

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                              A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                              A E D  
Can't you hear me singing your song

D                              A
Can't you hear me singing your song

A                                 
John boat plowing up the deep green water

                                  E       A
Looky yonder comes Jimmy with the Sly Rye beer

A                               
Five string floating in the Tennessee sun

                                     E            A
Always sounds a little muddy when we pick it down here

D
She runs wild, fast and free

A
Born in the mountains up in Kentucky

D
Heading for the falls of the Ohio

A                                  E
Asking me darling, don't you wanna go?

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                                     A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                              A E D
Can't you hear me singing your song

D                              A
Can't you hear me singing your song

A                                    
Bonfire burning on the banks of the river

                                     E              A
All the girls come running when they smell the fish fry

A
Barefoot dancing when we dip into the water                  

                                   E     A
I'll be loving this river 'til the day I die

D              
Locks and dams weren't made to last

A 
There's nothing we can build to ever hold her back

D
She can't be held by the hands of man

A                                  E
The Cumberland River is gonna rise again

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                                     A
Flowing through the heart of a guitar town

A            E
O Cumberland River

D                              A E D
Can't you hear me singing your song

D                              A
Can't you hear me singing your song
