I grew up skipping rocks on deep river
                                                   D
It’s rapid and it’s mighty, carrying everything on down
                                   A      D
I hear the steamboat whistle and I shiver
                    A                  E            E7
I never thought I’d want to leave this little river town
 
[Chorus]
    A
So, take me far away, deep river
A
And take the pain away, deep River
     D               A
Lord knows how big a fool I’ve been
D                     A
I’ve been thinking on jumping in, deep river

My true love was like the ole deep river
                        C            D
Wild and untamed in her beauty I did drown
                                  A     D
Floating on hope we’d always be together
                         A                E               E7
But now they’ve gone and left me here and both are headed South
 
[Chorus]
    A
So, take me far away, deep river
A
And take the pain away, deep River
     D               A
Lord knows how big a fool I’ve been
D                     A
I’ve been thinking on jumping in, deep river

Tell me what to do now deep river
                                                   D
You’ve seen a lot of broken folks along your muddy shores
                                    A      D
This town has got too many memories of her
                 A                 E             E7
So, take me far away and let your “Mighty” river roar
 
[Chorus]
A
Take me far away, deep river
A
And take the pain away, deep River
     D               A
Lord knows how big a fool I’ve been
D                     A
I’ve been thinking on jumping in
    D                      A
So, take me far away, deep river
A
Take the pain away, deep River
A
Take me far away, deep river
