Grateful Dead - Big river

Now ^EI taught the weeping willow how to cry, And I showed the clouds how to cover up a c^F#lear blue ^B7sky. ^EAnd the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna ^Aflood you Big River. Then ^EI'm gonna sit right ^B7here until I d^Eie

I m^Eet her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota). And it tore me up every time I heard her d^F#rawl, Southern d^B7rawl. Then I h^Eeard my dream was back Downstream cav^Aortin' in Davenport, And I follow^Eed you, Big^B7 River, when you ca^Elled.

Then you to^Eok me to St. Louis later on (down the river). A freighter said she's been here but she's g^F#one, boy, she's g^B7one. I foun^Ed her trail in Memphis, but she ^Ajust walked up the block. She raised a few^E eyebrows and then she wen^B7t on down a^Elone.

Now, won't yo^Eu batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. Take that woman on down to New^F# Orleans, New O^B7rleans. Go ^Eon, I've had enough, dump my b^Alues down in the gulf. S^Ehe loves you, Big^B7 River, more than ^Eme.

Now I^E taught the weeping willow how to cry, And I showed the clouds how to cover up a c^F#lear blue ^B7sky. ^EAnd the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna ^Aflood you Big River. E B7 E......E7 Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
