[Verse 1]
Bb            F       Bb      F
  Fire on the asphalt,   L.A. freeway
Bb           F         C               F
  Santa Anna windstorm   come blow me away
Bb               F            Bb         F
  This rear-view mirror could use some adjustment
Bb              F        C            F
  Some other reflection,   some other place


[Chorus]
   F          Bb       F            Bb
Oh Cumberland,   I'm a faithful son
          F            C
No matter where I run,   I hear you calling me
F                            Bb            F
Mississippi's wide and long,   St. Paul to New Orleans
Bb                       F             C          F
  But my heart's resting on your banks   in Tennessee


[Verse 2]
Bb         F     Bb                 F
  Lazy old river,   not a lick of ambition
Bb              F         C                   F
  You get to Kentucky and  then you roll back home
Bb              F       Bb                     F
  If you were a highway,   Oh, you wouldn't go nowhere
Bb                   F             C      F
   And I wouldn't be lost out here   all alone


[Chorus]
   F          Bb       F            Bb
Oh Cumberland,   I'm a faithful son
          F            C
No matter where I run,   I hear you calling me
F                            Bb            F
Mississippi's wide and long,   St. Paul to New Orleans
Bb                       F             C          F
  But my heart's resting on your banks   in Tennessee

[Verse 3]
Bb                 F     Bb              F
  There's a stolen river   in the San Fernando
Bb            F      C                  F
  Down in the valley   in the shadow of greed
Bb             F      Bb                 F
  But I have a memory    knee deep in salvation
Bb                  F     C                     F
  Of that old muddy water   that once washed me clean


[Chorus]
   F          Bb       F            Bb
Oh Cumberland,   I'm a faithful son

Mississippi's wide and long,   St. Paul to New Orleans
