Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

[Intro]

[Verse]
D
Thought I'd sing to the river
G D
Just cheer her on her way
D
She's a blue old girl
D A
That no one cares to travel on these days
D
I know some say she's lazy
G D
She was fast enough before
D
Half of every cotton crop
A D
Came floating past my door
G
And there used to be a dance hall
D
When the gambling boat still ran
E
The air was full of lamp light
A
And the sound of dixie land
D
But the river met her god now?
G D
She's a melancholy girl
D
She never sees the delta queen
E A
Or the Alabama pearl
D
And she looks like she's lonely
G D
As she tumbles to the sea
D
She's headed down to Mexico
A D
To find some company
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G
Well the only time I cursed her
G D
Was the spring of '65
E
She rolled across my bean field
E A
Looking more than ten miles wide
D
Well I shoulda seen it comin'
G D
As it does from time to time
D
Women's gonna make a fuss
D E A
When no one pays her any mind
D
So thought I'd sing to the river
G D
Just cheer her on her way
D
She's a blue old girl
D A D
that no one cares to travel on these days
D
Shes a blue old girl
D
that no one cares
A D
to travel on these days
