Verse 1:
Am Too many nights, nothing to do Am Drive out to the levee and I think about you Am I think about my coat hanging on your door Am N.C. I think about your dress lying on the floorC G You say you don't love me F Well I think you might E G Am Meet me on the levee tonightVerse 2:
Am Backtalk and rumors all around town Am I say the word, your new man coming around Am Betty told Jimmy and Jimmy told me Am N.C. Now I'm standing on the levee I just cannot believeC G You say you don't love me F Well I think you might E G Am So meet me on the levee tonightBridge:
C G Am Old Man River running wild and free C G E He found his lover between the devil And the deep blue sea Am E G Am Ain't that a little like you and me Am E G Am Just a little like you and meVerse 3:
N.C. I know your lips, the cut of your hair N.C. The shape of your hips, baby I've been there N.C. Deep in your heart, beneath your breast Am N.C.
