CHORUS:

D A
I'll never swim Kern River again.
A
It was there that I met her.
A E E7
It was there that I lost my best friend.
D
And now I live in the mountains.
C#m D
I drifted up here with the wind.
A
And I may drown in still water,
E A
But I'll never swim Kern River again.

VERSE
A
I grew up in an oil town,
D A
But my gusher never came in.
A
And the river was a boundary
A E (E7) E9
Where my darlin' and I used to swim.

A
One night in the moonlight
D A
The swiftness swept here life away.
A
And now I live on Lake Shasta and
A E A
Lake Shasta is where I will stay.

CHORUS

A
There's the South San Joaquin,
D A
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
A
And there's a place called Mount Whitney
A E (E7) E9
>From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
A
Well, it's not deep nor wide,
A D A
But it's a mean piece of water my friend.
A
And I may cross on the highway,
E A
But I'll never swim Kern River again
