[Verse 1]
C                                 G
Well a town's a town when you're upside down,
F                    Am      Am7         F
Lay your bones on a bed, it's that easy
G                  C     G
To have a kind of home

C                        G
Where the money goes I know too well
F                      Am        Am7         F
Spreads out like the jobs I've worked so many
      C                  G
Hard days don't seem to end

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Am      Em     F        C
Well I'm wasting time, wasting time
      F              C             G
And I only know one way to go to start again

       C             G
Let it roll, let it roll
         Am            Em
Down the banks of the Ohio
         F              C
When you can't rely on what you make
    F               G
To pay the rent on time

       C       G
So I'm goin' away,
     Am           Em
Down to the fortifio (?)
   F                  C       G
Oh way down there in Cairo, IL
          C
I'm gonna stay

[Verse 2]
     C                        G
Now what do you say when the bottom falls out,
F             Am        Am7   F
Try to make amends with anybody
      G               C      G
That ever caused you pain

        C                             G
It's no fault of mine that it should end this way
F                 Am       Am7   F
And I wont' apologize to anybody
       C                   G
For a thing that I can't change

[Pre-Chorus 2]
                Am        Em           F       C
See I'm used to bein' alone, used to bein' alone,
             F              C              G
See it's the only way that I know how to get to where I'm goin',

[Chorus]
       C             G
Let it roll, let it roll
         Am            Em
Down the banks of the Ohio
         F              C
When you can't rely on what you make
    F               G
To pay the rent on time

       C       G
So I'm goin' away,
     Am           Em
Down to the fortifio (?)
   F                  C       G
Oh way down there in Cairo, IL
          C
I'm gonna stay

[Pre-Chorus 3]
      Am  Em      F                  C
Woah Cairo, you build your levies tall,
           F               C
I want to sit beside the water
    G
And forget about it all.

[Chorus]
       C             G
Let it roll, let it roll
         Am            Em
Down the banks of the Ohio
         F              C
When you can't rely on what you make
    F               G
To pay the rent on time

       C       G
So I'm goin' away,
     Am           Em
Down to the fortifio (?)
   F                  C       G
Oh way down there in Cairo, IL
          F
I'm gonna stay
