The Secret Sisters - Tennessee River Runs Low

      Bm/F# (xx4432)

[Intro]
Bm/F# (single stroke) 

          Bm/F#   E    Bm/F#
If I were born to be a river
     Bm/F#    E       Bm/F#
If a river is all I'd be
Em           F#       Bm/F#      E
I'd tell the giver of all of the rivers
   Bm/F#       F#    Bm/F#
to make me the Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Bm/F#                              Em
How many drops of rain roll off of how many window panes
                                        F#
down to a valley low where a river like me begins to grow
Bm/F#                       Em
I sing a mournful song as I rush and ramble along
F#                               Bm/F#
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

[Verse 3]
Bm/F#                           Em
I bury secrets deep I keep them down where the catfish creep
                                      F#
where the rolling tide can't reach the things that I hide
Bm/F#                        Em
I hum a mournful tune in the Alabama June
F#                               Bm/F#
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

[Chorus]
      F#             Bm/F#          F#                      Bm/F#     F#         Bm/F#
I say oh di di di di oh do do do do oh oh oh oh oh even the Tennessee river runs low

[Bridge]
Em
When the sky is bright and clear 
             Bm/F#
not a cloud above you
Em
you can float in knowing dear
                   F#
that I was made to love you

Em
When the storm is raging
                 Bm/F#
All the light is fading
    Em               
The river sings along with me
F#
reaching for that minor key

[Verse 4] 
Bm/F#                         Em
Colour me blue and grey river carry me fast away
                              F#
Flood all the rocks and rills humble the mighty hill
Bm/F#                       Em
I am the Tennessee, see you down at the stormy sea
F#                               Bm/F#
oh di oh di oh di o di o di o di o

[Chorus]
      F#             Bm/F#          F#                      Bm/F#     F#         Bm/F#
I say oh di di di di oh do do do do oh oh oh oh oh even the Tennessee river runs low
       F#                Bm/F#
The Tennessee river runs low
         F#                   Bm/F#
Even the Tennessee river runs low
