On the album Big Iron World this is played with a capo on the third fret.
Intro: Bm G
Bm G A D
D G
James River blues
D G
I just heard the awful news
D G
I could steer around the rocks
D G
But they're bustin' down the docks
D G D G
D G
James River blues
D G
That train came on through
D G
And the works getting slow
D G
Now where's a boat man to go?
Bm G
I think I'll float on down
Bm G
To Richmond town
Bm G
They don't need us anymore
Bm
Haulin' freight from shore to shore
G
That big iron hauls much more
C
Than we ever could before
D G D G
D G
I've seen good men going wrong
D G
I've seen bad ones get it right
D G
As that river rolls along
D G
I'll be stepping out tonight
Bm G
On the cool flow
Bm G
Floatin' down, down below
Bm G
The bridge to the waters edge
Bm G
From the ridge to ledge
Bm G
From the hills to the sea
Bm G C
I'll become a memory
D G
