Verse 1: 
Am 
Too many nights, nothing to do 
Am 
Drive out to the levee and I think about you 
Am 
I think about my coat hanging on your door 
Am      N.C. 
I think about your dress lying on the floor 

 
C                 G 
You say you don't love me 
                 F 
Well I think you might 
E               G        Am 
Meet me on the levee tonight

Verse 2: 
Am 
Backtalk and rumors all around town 
Am 
I say the word, your new man coming around 
Am 
Betty told Jimmy and Jimmy told me 
Am               N.C. 
Now I'm standing on the levee I just cannot believe 

 
C                 G 
You say you don't love me 
                 F 
Well I think you might 
   E              G         Am 
So meet me on the levee tonight

Bridge:
C       G                      Am 
Old Man River running wild and free 
C            G                 E 
He found his lover between the devil 

And the deep blue sea 
Am           E           G       Am 
Ain't that a little like you and me 
Am     E            G      Am 
Just a little like you and me

Verse 3: 
N.C. 
I know your lips, the cut of your hair 
N.C. 
The shape of your hips, baby I've been there 
N.C. 
Deep in your heart, beneath your breast 
Am     N.C. 
I know you know which one is the best 

 
C                 G 
You say you don't love me 
                 F 
Well I think you might 
E                G     Am 
Prove it on the levee tonight 
E               G      Am 
Meet me on the levee tonight

Am 
Too many nights, nothing to do 
Am 
Drive out to the levee and I think about you 
Am 
Think about my coat hanging on your door 
Am      N.C. 
And I think about your dress. It was lying on the floor 

 
C                 G 
You say you don't love me 
        F 
But you might 
E               G      Am 
Meet me on the levee tonight 
C                 G 
You say you don't love me 
                 F 
Well I think you might 
         E               G      Am 
And I'll prove it on the levee tonight 
E               G       Am 
Meet me on the levee tonight
