The River(Cavaco chords)

	        
               Bm             G  
I've been here longer and I'm stronger  
        A                   D  
And I've seen as much as any man 
       Bm                       G 
many's crossed me but none have bossed me  
      A                       Bm   
And I don't believe they ever can
 
 
 
D        Bm                          G 
Hello son I see you're wearin' a gun  
G                          A  
And you say you're on your way into town 
D                              Bm                       G 
You say your Ma told you not to but you feel you got to 
G                                   A 
Get that man that gunned your daddy down 
 
 
From the sheriff's office to the gallows boy  
That's a mighty mighty short walk 
So while you water your horse son let you and I take it easy  
And have a little talk 
 
Chorus 
 
Well I can see that you're angry  
And I guess you've got plenty right to be 
But the law can handle your daddy's killer  
Mch better than you or me 
 
And remember your promise you made your mother 
That you never would fought on a gun 
So go on home to her boy cause she needs you  
She wouldn't stand to lose her only son 
 
Well I see you thought it over  
And I'm glad to see you going home boy 
And you wanna know what they call me 
Well I'm just the river they call me the Mississippi 
 
 
Chorus
