Troy Cassar Daley - River Boy Chords

CAPO 2


INTRO: D  G  A  D

VERSE 1:
D                            G     
I was born and raised on the river
         A                D
It's the only life that I know
D                             G
People 'round here have put a name on me
      A                  D
And I hear it wherever I go

CHORUS:
             D          G
They call me river boy, river boy
A                 D                         
A good for nothin' river boy
D                           G
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
            A             D 
When you're nothin' but a river boy

VERSE 2:

D                            G
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
   A                  D
To make my livin' you see
D                           G  
When I take my catch to the market place
    A                  D
The people call out to me

CHORUS 2:
              D              G 
And they say, river boy, hey river boy
A                            D       
You got any fish today there, river boy
D                   G
I sell my ware, but nobody cares 
          A                D 
About the feeling's of the river boy

VERSE 3: KEY CHANGE
 
          E                        A    
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
  B7                 E 
I see her there everyday
    E             A   
But when I try to talk to her 
      B7            E 
I can hear her papa say


CHORUS 3:
                    E         A
Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy
B7                      E
Nothin' but a riff-raff river boy
E                        A
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
     B7                     E
On a good for nothin' river boy

VERSE 4:

So I head my boat back up the river
Back to my old fishin' place
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow

CHORUS:

I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
