^E6Well I'm goin' down to the ^C#9river I've got a ^F#7canepole ^B7in my ^E6hand I've got my ^C#9redworms in a ^F#7Maxwell house coffee ^B7can I'm gonna ^E7sit under a shade ^G#7tree On a ^Ariverbank where it's ^D9cool I'm gonna ^E6close my eyes and ^C#9dream And let the ^F#7cork Bob ^B7away my ^E6blues
