Old Man River

G Em G Em G Em C Am7 There's an old man called the Mississippi G Em Em7 Am7 D7 That's the old man that I wants to be G G7 C Am7 What does he care if the world's got trouble? G Em Am D7 G What does he care if the land ain't free? G Em G Em Old Man River, that Old Man River, G D Em Gdim He must know something, but he don't say nothing, Am D Am7 D G Em G Em He just keeps rollin; he keeps on rollin along G Em G Em He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton, G D7 Em Gdim and them that plants them are soon forgotten Am D Am7 D G Em G F#7 But Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along. Bm Em Bm Em You and me, we sweat and strain, Bm Em Bm Em Body all aching and racked with pain. Bm F#7 Bm F#7 Tote that barge, and lift that bale, Bm F#7 Bm Am D You get a little drunk and you lands in jail. G Em G Em I get weary, and sick of trying, G D Em A7 I'm tired of living, and scared of dying, G Em Am7 D G Em Am7 C G But Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along.
