I "transcribed" best I could the lyrics from the cd...to wit: I took a stab at the chord progression. Would appreciate help on this from any of you familiar with this song...thanks Verne Down On the Levee by: John Hartford No End of Love Album Chords Tabbed by: Verne Garrison Lyrics scribed from the disc, best I could Banjo Tuned E Key D, Capo 1 D I must go down on the levee again G D With the muddy river and sky All ask for is a stern-wheel boat A D And some horns to steer her by Bow your wheels, keep an eye on the roof Pilot house window a shakin Full moon, Missouri sky Foggy morning a breakin I must go down on the levee again When river is up, and shes wide Hear that lonesome whistle A call that cannot be denied Step onboard some southbound boat Sail all the way to the sea At home on the muddy river, Is where I want to be Instrumental: Must get a job on the River again Where the river runs good and wide Clean the stairs, move the chairs Sleep up on the deck sometimes Stories heard on the lazy bench How big the search lights are Carrying coffee up to the old man Stumblin in the dark Here's to you old real steamboat With double-swinging stages Compound condensing engines Real old funny looking gauges Chorus: May your wheels be free of driftwood May you never run a-ground May all your winds, be tail winds May all your trips be down Instrumental: Chorus: May all your trips be down
