Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I tabbed this song basing it off the earlier James River Blues chords listed
here. I personally like this version better, and think it sounds more melancholy
when performed solo, and is easier as it uses all open chords. I put the Capo on
the first fret, but feel free to experiment and play around with it. I strum it
with a Johnny Cash-esque one-two pattern, but feel free to try different things. Enjoy!
Capo Fret 1
G EM
James River blues
G EM
I just heard the awful news
G EM
I could steer around the rocks
G EM
But they're bustin' down the docks
G EM G EM
G EM
James River blues
G EM
That train came on through
G EM
And the works gotten slow
G EM
Now where's a boatman to go?
C D
I think I'll float on down
C D
To Richmond town
C D
They don't need us anymore
C
Haulin' freight from shore to shore
D
That big iron hauls much more
G
Than we ever could before
G Em G Em
G Em
I've seen good men going wrong
G Em
I've seen bad ones get it right
G Em
As that river rolls along
G Em
I'll be stepping out tonight
C D
On the cool flow
C D
Floatin' down down below
C D
The bridge till the waters edge
C D
From the ridge to the ledge
C D
From the hills to the sea
C D
I'll become a memory
G EM
James River blues

End with a flourish
