[Verse]
A
Fish ain't bitin'
E
But I don't really care and don't hurry
A E A
Like that Wabash River there I'd be drinkin'
D
Or laying dead somewhere
A E A
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
[Chorus]
A D
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
A E
And this willow tree and my pole and a line
A D
I'd be goin' crazy as an Indiana cyclone
A E
Drownin' memories of her and cryin' cryin' cryin'
A E A
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
E A
I'd be goin' out off my mind
[Verse]
A
It's so peaceful
E
Sittin' here beneath my tree Lord I need her
A E A
Like she often needed me life ain't worth it
D
Just as far as I can see
A E A
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
[Chorus]
A D
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
A E
And this willow tree and my pole and a line
A D
I'd be goin' crazy as an Indiana cyclone
A E
Drownin' memories of her and cryin' cryin' cryin'
A E A
If it wasn't for the Wabash River
E A
I'd be goin' out off my mind
