Kern River Blues chords

[D]Well I’m leaving town tomorrow getting’ my breakfast [A7]in the [D]sky
Well I’m [G]leavin’ in the early morning eat my breakfast in the [D]sky
Be a [A7]donut on a paper drink my coffee on the [D]fly
-----------------------------------------------------

[D]Cause I’m flyin’ out on jet plane gonna leave this to[A7]wn behi[D]nd
I’m [G]flyin’ out on jet plane gonna leave this town [D]behind
They done [A7]moved the city limits out by the county [D]line
------------------------------------------------------

[D]Put my head up to the window watched the city [A7]fade a[D]way
Put my [G]head close to the window watch Oildale fade [D]away
Now the [A7]blues back in the 30’s just like the blues [D]today
----------------------------------------------------------

[D]There used to be a river here runnin’ d[A7]eep and w[D]ide
Well they [G]used to have Kern River runnin’ deep and [D]wide
Then some[A7]body stole the water another politician [D]lied
----------------------------------------------------------

[D]When you close down all the honky tonks the city d[A7]ied at n[D]ight
When you [G]close down all the honky tonks the city died at [D]night
When it [A7]hurt somebody’s feelings well the wrong ain’t never [D]right
-----------------------------------------------------------------

[D]Well I’m leavin’ town forever kiss an old boxc[A7]ar goodb[D]ye
Well I’m [G]leavin’ town forever kiss an old boxcar good[D]bye
I'd dump my [A7]blues down in the river, but the old Kern River’s [D]dry

Have Fun
