[Intro]

[Verse]
G D My granddad used to tell me, "Boy, when I was just your age Em A I was a river pilot on a showboat called The Stage D G D I'd hobnob with them southern belles and every roustabout Em A D I'd listen to them paddle wheels and hear the leadsman shout"
[Chorus]
D Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) it's two fathoms deep below Em A Em Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) heave the gangplank, start the show D G D Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go Bm F#m Em A D G A D G A D Down the Mississippi, 'round the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse]
G D There were gamblers, crooks and fakers and a minstrel man who'd dance Em A A singin' gal, Simone Lamour, imported straight from France D G D It was a floatin' palace, boy, that showboat called The Stage Em A D And granddad was the king of it, when he was just my age
[Chorus]
D Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) it's two fathoms deep below Em A Em Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) heave the gangplank, start the show D G D Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go Bm F#m Em A D Down the Mississippi, 'round the Gulf of Mexico

[Verse]
G D The calliope is quiet now, the rudder's thick with rust Em A The main deck and the paddlewheels are covered high with dust D G D But granddad's in his glory, still standin' on the bow Em A D A halo 'round his pilot's cap and I can hear him now
[Chorus]
D Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) it's two fathoms deep below Em A Em Mark Twain, (Mark Twain) heave the gangplank, start the show D G D Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go Bm F#m Em A D Down the Mississippi, 'round the Gulf of Mexico
[Chorus]
D Mark Twain, it's two fathoms deep below Em Mark Twain, heave the gangplank, start the show D G D Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go Bm F#m Em A D Down the Mississippi, 'round the Gulf of Mexico
