Ol Man River

G                                  C
There's an old man called the Mississippi
G                                  D7
That's the old man that I wants to be
Em                                   Am
What does he care if the world's got troubles
Em                  Am       D7         G
What does he care if the land ain't free

[Verse 1]
G       C           G       C
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River,
   G         C               G         C
he don't say nothin', but he must know somethin',
   D          D7          D        D7      G      C G C
he just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along.

   G           C               G           C
He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton,
    G         Bm             Em      F#7
and them what plants em, are soon forgotten
    D       Am     D          C       G      C G
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along.

[Chorus]
Bm      Em     Bm        Em
You and me, we sweat and strain,
Bm       Em         Bm          Em
body all achin' and racked with pain.
Bm        F#7        Bm        F#7
Tote that barge and lift that bail,
    Bm           F#7            Bm       Am    D
you get a little drunk and you lands in jail.

[Outro]
G      C          G       C
I gets weary, and sick of trying,
    G        Am              Em        A7
I'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin',
    G       Em        Am         D7      G      C G
but Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along.
