Old Man And The River(Chords)

	        C  
There's an old man who lives by the river                 
                             G7            C 
In an old log cabin with the cracks in the wall 
 
Makes his livin' by the catchin' of the fish 
                                G7            C 
If he don't catch many well he can't fix the wall 
 
  
F         F 
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind  
                              G7       C 
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in 
F      C 
Oo-ee can't go to sleep, 
                                 G7           C 
Wade across the river where the waters ain't deep 
 
  
 
Old man prayed the big fish are bitin' 
                            G7          C 
The time of the year it's  late in the fall 
 
Winter's 'commin' the winds gonna whistle 
                            G7            C 
Snow gonna blow through the cracks in the wall 
 
  
F         C 
Oo-ee the whistle of the wind 
                             G7        C 
Nail up the boards where the wind goes in 
F      C 
Oo-ee can't go to sleep, 
                                G7           C 
Wade across the river where the water ain't deep 
 
 
 
The old man Courted a pretty youg maiden 
 
A maiden that he loved most of all 
 
She ran away with a cool river gambler 
 
Cool river gambler, seven feet tall 
 
 
         Repeat Chorus
