Waylon Jennings – River Boy (Guitar)

C                            F
I was born and raised on the river

         G                C
It's the only life that I know

C                             F
People 'round here have put a name on me

      G                  C
And I hear it wherever I go

             C         F          G
They call me River Boy, River Boy

                C
Good for nothin' River Boy

                            F
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joys

      G                      C
For a good for nothin' River Boy

C                            F
I do a lot of fishin' on the river

G                     C
To make my livin' you see

C                           F
When I take my catch to the market place

G                  C
People call out to me

              C         F              G
And they say, River Boy, hey River Boy

                                    C
You got any fish there today, River Boy

C                    F
I sell my wares, but nobody cares

          G                    C     C F G
About the feeling's of a River Boy

C#                                 F#
There's a pretty girl works at the market place

  G#                  C#
I see her there every day

C#                      F#
But every time I try to talk to her

G#                  C#
I can hear her papa say

                    C#        F#          G#
Come away from that River boy,  River Boy

                            C#
Nothing but riff-raff, them River Boys

C#                           F#
No daughter of mine is gonna waste her time

     G#                     C#
On a good for nothin' River Boy

C#                            F#
So I head my boat back up the river

G#                      C#
Back to the old fishing place

C#                                F#
I'm afraid this old river's gonna overflow

         G#                    C#
From the tears fallin' down my face

           C#        F#         G#
I'm just a River Boy, River Boy

                  C#
A good for nothin' River Boy

C#                          F#
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy

      G#                     C#
for a good for nothin' River Boy

G#                     C#
Good for nothin' River boy

G#                     C#
Good for nothin' River Boy

          G#                     C#
Im just a good for nothin' River Boy

G#                     C#
Good for nothin' River Boy
