Grateful Dead – Big River chords

[Verse]
    ENow I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
                                           F#        B7And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
E                                                   AAnd the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
     E                   B7            EThen I'm gonna sit right here until I die


[Verse]
   EI met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
                                          F#              B7And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
        E                                    AThen I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
            E          B7                 EAnd I followed you, Big River, when you called.

           EThen you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
                                            F#               B7A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
      E                               AI found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
                E                         B7         EShe raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

[Verse]
             ENow, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
                              F#             B7Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
   E                             AGo on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf.
 E                B7                EShe loves you, Big River, more than me.

     ENow I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
                                           F#        B7And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
E                                                   AAnd the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
     E                   B7            E  E7Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
