Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Oh mighty river, the Mississipi's
Turbulent waters lull me to sleep
Please take my hand, I will go gently
Your arms around me, you'll be my man
The leave are changing, and I will cross this road
And make my last walk in the warm sunshine
Oh mighty river, the Mississipi
Oh all the trouble your banks have seen
Carry these stories from north to south
But in Rock Island you're westward bound
The factory's closing, kids have grown so fast
Lift up their woe plea's, as you flow past
Oh in this river you have seen it all
Now do your waters have room for more
On endless river, as you transcend
Please take me with you, far from this land
