B
Fish ain't bitin'
B B
But I don't really care I'm in no hurry
E
Like that Wabash River there I'd be drinkin'
E B
Or laying dead somewhere
B F# B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
[Chorus]
B B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
B B F#
And this willow tree and my pole and a line
E/B B E
I'd be goin' crazy as an Indiana cyclone
E B B F#
Drownin' memories of her and cryin' cryin' cryin'
E B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
F# B
I'd be goin' out of my mind
[Verse]
B
It's so peaceful
B B
Sittin' here beneath my tree Lord I need her
B E
Like she often needed me life ain't worth it
E B
Just as far as I can see
B F# B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
[Chorus]
B B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
B B F#
And this willow tree and my pole and a line
E/B B E
I'd be goin' crazy as an Indiana cyclone
E B B F#
Drownin' memories of her and cryin' cryin' cryin'
E B
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
F# B
I'd be goin' out of my mind
