Em   Am   D
Em   Am   C   D


[Chorus]
Em
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
Am                        D
But that don't bother me, dirty little river gonna get me clean
Em
Trinity River, flow because I cry
Am                   C              D
Gonna keep me honest when everybody tellin lies


[Verse 1]
Em
Damn center evening hung everywhere
Am                         D
Gamblers turning cards and drinkin' on that whiskey hard
Em
Damn center evening flows through my head
Am                        C                     D
I had the sweetest dream, I was floatin' in the river dead


[Chorus]
Em
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
Am                        D
But that don't bother me, dirty little river gonna get me clean
Em
Trinity River, flow because I cry
Am                    C                D
Gonna keep you honest even when you're tellin' lies


[Solo]
Em   Am   D
Em   Am   C   D


[Verse 2]
Em
In this river city nothin' ever lasts
Am                           D
Each side the lonesome blues starin' back at you
Em
In this river city one thing you can be sure
Am                          C              D
Whatever you've got to give somebody gonna give some more


[Chorus]
Em
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
Am                        D
But that don't bother me, dirty little river gonna get me clean
Em
Trinity River, flow because I cry
Am                   C                D
Gonna keep me honest even though they tellin' lies


[Solo]
Em   Am   D
Em   Am   C   D


[Verse 3]
Em
Trinity River, muddy water risin' up
Am             D
Trinity River, couldn't drown me fast enough
Em
Trinity River, flow because I cry
Am                    C                  D
Gonna keep you honest even though you're tellin' lies


[Outro]
Em   Am   D
Em   Am   C   D
