River Boy

C

[Verse 1]

C                            F
I was born and raised on the river
         G                C
It's the only life that I know
C                             F
People 'round here have put a name 
on me
      G                  C
And I hear it wherever I go

[Chorus 1]

             C         F          G
They call me River Boy, River Boy
                C
Good for nothin' River Boy
                            F
This old world don't hold a whole 
lot of joys
      G                      C
For a good for nothin' River Boy

[Verse 2]

C                            F
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
G                     C
To make my livin' you see
C                           F
When I take my catch to the market 
place
G                  C
People call out to me

Continues after the ad
[Chorus 2]

              C         F         
And they say, River Boy, hey River
     G
 Boy
You got any fish there today, River 
C
Boy
C                    F
I sell my wares, but nobody cares
          G                    C  
About the feeling's of a River Boy
   C F G


[Verse 3]

C#                                 
There's a pretty girl works at the 
F#
market place
  G#                  C#
I see her there every day
C#                      F#
But every time I try to talk to her
G#                  C#
I can hear her papa say

[Chorus 3]

                    C#        
Come away from that River boy,  
F#          G#
River Boy
                            C#
Nothing but riff-raff, them River 
Boys
C#                           F#
No daughter of mine is gonna waste 
her time
     G#                     C#
On a good for nothin' River Boy

[Verse 4]

C#                            F#
So I head my boat back up the river
G#                      C#
Back to the old fishing place
C#                                
I'm afraid this old river's gonna 
F#
overflow
         G#                    C#
From the tears fallin' down my face

[Chours 4]
           C#        F#         G#
I'm just a River Boy, River Boy
                  C#
A good for nothin' River Boy
C#                          F#
This old world don't hold a whole 
lot of joy
      G#                     C#
for a good for nothin' River Boy
