The Rivers Of Texas Chords

[Verse 1]
G                              C             G
We crossed the broad Pecos, we crossed the Nueces
                          D7
Swam the Guadalupe, we followed the Brazos,
    G                 C       D
Red River runs rusty, Wichita clear
                         D7         G
But down by the Brazos I courted my dear.
 
[Chorus]
G              C              G            D7
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
G              C              G       D7    G
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
               C              G            D
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
                                  G
It's many a river that waters the land.
 
[Verse 2]
G                      C             G
The fair Angelina runs glossy and glidin
                          D7
The crooked Colorado runs wеavin' and windin'
    G                C           G
The slow San Antonio courses the plain
                             D7      G
But I nеver will walk by the Brazos again
 
[Chorus]
G              C              G            D7
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
G              C              G       D7    G
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
               C              G            D
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
                                  G
It's many a river that waters the land.
 
[Verse 3]
G                               C                G
He hugged me, and he kissed me; he called me his candy
                          D7
The Trinity is muddy, the Brazos quicksandy
   G                               C             G
He hugged me, and he kissed me; he called me his own
                          D7       G
But down by the Brazos he left me alone
 
[Chorus]
G              C              G            D7
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
G              C              G       D7    G
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
               C              G            D
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
                                  G
It's many a river that waters the land.
 
[Verse 4]
G                            C            G
The boys of Little River are handsome and strong
                               D7
The Sulphur and the Sabine are still mighty long
    G                  C                   G
And down by the Neches there's boys by the score
                             D7        G
But I never will walk by the Brazos no more
 
[Chorus]
G              C              G            D7
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
G              C              G       D7    G
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
               C              G            D
Aye, lie, lie, lee, lee, lee, give me your hand,
                                  G
It's many a river that waters the land.
