OLD KANAWHA
[Intro]
D
G D A D
G D A D
[Verse]
D G D
Well there's a place in the valley, down that old Midland Trail
D Em A
Black gold in the mountains, and hickory on the hill
D G D
And at the Devil's Tea Table you can climb to the top
D A D
And you can see the emerald waters, of the old Kanawha
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well there's the New and there's the Gauley, but they're a little too rough
G D Em A
The Greenbrier and the Holly, but they ain't deep enough
D G D
But there's a place in the Valley, that runs wide and free
D A D
And she's the mighty Old Kanawha, and she is home to me
[Instrumental]
G D A D
G D A D
[Verse]
D G D
And you can float down to the islands there's a rope swinging for free
D Em A
Hanging worn, torn and faded from a big poplar tree
D G D
And you can watch the barges carry those dusty black rocks
D A D
And they power half the country down the old Kanawha
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well there's the New and there's the Gauley, but they're a little too rough
G D Em A
The Greenbrier and the Holly, but they ain't deep enough
D G D
But there's a place in the Valley, that runs wide and free
D A D
And she's the mighty Old Kanawha, and she's home to me
[Instrumental]
G D A D
G D A D
[Verse]
D G D
Yeah she'll hold you on her back for the Fourth Of July
D Em A
She's got the best seats in the house to watch the fire in the sky
D G D
And she's been rollin' since Creation she don't know how to stop
D A D
And she's the lifeblood of the people. She's the old Kanawha
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well there's the New and there's the Gauley, but they're a little too rough
G D E A
The Greenbrier and the Holly, but they ain't deep enough
D G D
But there's a place in the Valley, that runs wide and free
D A Bm
And she's the mighty Old Kanawha, and she is home to me
[Outro]
D A D
Yeah she's the mighty Old Kanawha, and she is home to me
