Roy Acuff - Steamboat Whistle Blues Chords

[Chorus]
D                                         D7
I thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
A                                    D
Blow like you've never blown be-fore
 
[Verse 1]
D                                      D7
I crossed that river and I fell fast a-sleep,
G                                      D
I crossed that river and I fell fast a-sleep
G                                      D
I crossed that river and I fell fast a-sleep
A                                      D
And when I woke I had shackles on my feet
 
[Chorus]
D                                         D7
I thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
A                                    D
Blow like you've never blown be-fore
 
[Verse 2]
D                                    D7
I said Judge, now what might be my fine
G                                    D
I said Judge, now what might be my fine
G                                    D
I said Judge, now what might be my fine
A                                         D
But he said Sixty days right on down the line And...
 
[Chorus]
D                                         D7
I thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
A                                    D
Blow like you've never blown be-fore
 
[Verse 3]
D                                       D7
It's sixty days in the old hoosegow to go,
G                                  D
Sixty days in the old hoosegow to go,
G                                  D
Sixty days in the old hoosegow to go,
A                                         D
And I can't hear that steamboat whistle blow. But...
 
[Chorus]
D                                         D7
I thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
G                                        D
Thought I heard that steamboat whistle blow
A                                    D
Blow like you've never blown be-fore
