[D]Now where's a boat man to [G]go?
I think I'll [Bm]float on [G]down
To [Bm]Richmond [G]town
[Bm]They don't need us [G]anymore
Haulin' freight from shore to [Bm]shore
That big iron hauls much [G]more
Than we [A]ever could before

On the [Bm]cool [G]flow
Floatin' [Bm]down, down [G]below
The [Bm]bridge to the water's [G]edge
From the [Bm]ridge to the [G]ledge
From the [Bm]hills to the [G]sea
I'll [Bm]become a [G]memory[A]
