  Kern River

  Merle Haggard

  

  

  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

  

  

  CHORUS
