'Big River' by Grateful Dead - Guitar Tutorial

             A
Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, 
                                     B           E
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. 
 A                                      D
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, 
     A                     E7           A
And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, 
     A                                 B
She tore me up everything I heard her drawl, 
               E
That southern drawl. 
        A
Well I heard my dream went back downstream, 
    D
Cavortin' in Davenport, 
       A                E7             A
And I followed you big river when you called. 
 
Well I followed her down to St. Louie, 
Later on down the river, 
Trader said she's been here, 
But she's gone, boy, she's gone. 
Well I followed her down to Memphis, 
But she just walked off the bus, 
She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone. 
 
Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, 
River Queen roll on, 
Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans. 
I give up, I've had enough, 
Followed my blues on down to the gulf, 
She loves you big river more than me.
