KERN RIVER Merle Haggard
I'll [D]never swim Kern River a[A]gain.
It was there that I met her.
It was there that I lost my best [E]friend.[E7]
And now I [D]live in the mountains.
I [C#m] drifted up here with the [D]wind.
And I may [A]drown in still water,
But I'll [E]never swim Kern River a[A]gain.
I grew up in an oil town,
But my [D]gusher never came [A]in.
And the river was a boundary
Where my darlin' and I used to [E]swim.[E7] [E9]
[A]One night in the moonlight
[D]Its swiftness swept here life a[A]way.
And now I live on Lake Shasta and
Lake [E]Shasta is where I will [A]stay.
[A]There's the South San Joaquin,
Where the [D]seeds of the dust bowl are [A]found.
And there's a place called Mount Whitney
From where the mighty Kern River comes [E]down[E7].[E9]
Well, it's [A]not deep nor wide,
[A]But it's a [D]mean piece of water my [A]friend.
[A]And I may cross on the highway,
But I'll [E]never swim Kern River [A]again
