CHORUS:

E7           Edim         E7            A7 
                                        
                                                        
Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more,

E                     B7    B7#5 
                            
                                    
'Cause I got them deep river blues.

E             Edim            E             A7 
                                            
                                                         
Let the waves drive right on, let that wind sweep along,

E          B7         E    E6  E 
                               
                                    
'Cause I got them deep river blues.



                                                           
My old gal, she's a good old pal, looks like a water fowl.

                                  
When I get them deep river blues.

                                                             
Ain't no one to cry for me and the fish'll go out on a spree

                                  
When I get them deep river blues.
