^AmHow many drops of rain roll off of ^Dmhow many window panes down to a valley low where a river like ^E7me begins to grow ^AmI sing a mournful song as I ^Dmrush and ramble along ^E7oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o^Am

^AmI bury secrets deep I keep them d^Dmown where the catfish creep where the rolling tide can't reach the ^E7things that I hide ^AmI hum a mournful tune in the ^DmAlabama June ^E7oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di ^Amo

I say ^E7oh di di di di ^Amoh do do do do ^E7oh oh oh oh oh even the ^AmTennessee ^E7river runs l^Amow [Bridge] ^DmWhen the sky is bright and clear not a cloud ^Amabove you ^Dmyou can float in knowing dear that I was made to ^E7love you

^DmWhen the storm is raging All the light is ^Amfading The ^Dmriver sings along with me ^E7reaching for that minor key
