[Verse 1]
E                    D      A     E    D    A
 I took a ride in an automobile
E                      D           A     E    D    A
 Pushed my hands out against the wheel
E                     D        A
 Asked a girl if she needed a ride
E                           D           A     E
 She said, "Sure, babe, but I want to drive"
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bm        G
Hey, now, wait a while
       E          Bm
We're going down with a smile
 Bm   G    E             G     A
Cold river, she took me down
 Bm   G    E              G
Cold river, she took my pride
       A
River runs so deep
G    A
 It runs so deep
G    A       Bm
 It runs so deep

[Verse 2]
E                  D             A      E   D   A
 Had to stop on account of the storm
E                        D         A    E   D   A
 Seemed like years since I'd been warm
E                             D      A
 We drove all night till the tires blew
E                     D            A     E
 Got in the back and did what you do

Hey, now, wait a while

We're going down with a smile

Cold river, she took me down
 Bm   G    E              G     A
Cold river, she took my pride
            Bm    G
On a sunny day
            E
On a sunny day
              G    A
She took my pride
         Bm             G
All the money you made
         E
Did you need it, babe?

She took my pride
       A
River runs so deep

 It runs so deep
G    A       Bm
 It runs so deep
