Not sure on the last chord of the bridge



C                                               G
I ain’t gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
  G                                     C
I ain’t going nowhere feeling the way I do
           C                                   G
Because my baby’s long gone and nothings going my way
  G                                              C
I gonna let this muddy water just a-wash away my blues


Chorus:
                       C                         G
It gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart a-float
      G                                             C
Gonna take a lot of river running all the live long day
               C                                    G 
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
      G                                        C 
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away


Well I wish I was a tugboat a-pushing and a-pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn’t be no woman that could ever take my love and then do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel

Chorus


Bridge:
          F                    G#m
Is she in New Orleans is she a Cajun queen
  A#                      C
I wonder what she’s doing now
       F                    G#
But if I know her she’s got rings and furs
A#                   C
Struggling along somehow


Chorus
