Whipporwill River

• D

Capo III Fret 
 
 
My (D) dad was a (G) man with 2 (D) hard working (G) hands 
He (D) always took (G) time out for (A) me (A7) 
Well, I'd (D) come home from (G) school - load (D) up that ca(G)noe 
He'd (D) say "What's the (G) bet gonna (A) be" (A7) 
 
(Em) We'd float that boat down on (A) Whipporwill River 
(Em) Catch us a big one or (A) two 
He (Em) taught me about life and (A) it's simple pleasures 
And (Em) whatever else that he (A) knew 
 
Then (D) I met a (G) girl with a (D) hair full of (G) curls 
(D) Pure and an (G) innocent (A) heart (A7) 
I knew (D) she was the (G) one - and when (D) weekends would (G) come 
Wild (D) horses couldn't (G) keep us a(A)part (A7) 
 
(Em) We'd run those ponies down (A) Whipporwill River 
(Em) I'd steal a sweet kiss or (A) two 
She (Em) taught me about love and (A) it's simple pleasures 
And (Em) whatever else that she (A) knew

(D) His mom and (G) I, (D) always find (G) time 
To (D) do things that (G) he likes to (A) do (A7) 
 
He (Em) loves to go fishing on (A) Whipporwill River 
(Em) Ride in his grandad's ca(A)noe 
We (Em) teach him about life, and (A) it's simple pleasures 
And (Em) pass down a memory or (A) two 
He (Em) loves to go fishing on (A) Whipporwill River 
(Em) Ride in his grandad's ca(A)noe 
We (Em) teach him about life, and (A) it's simple pleasures 
And (Em) makinh a memory or (A) two
