I Can See Arkansas 
Recorded by Anne Murray
Written by Wood Arnold Newton and James Nihan

C
There's a natural wonder between us
       F
But it doesn't seem natural to me
C
That you can walk away from the love we made
G7
Here in Tennessee

C
Leave everything that we worked for
   F
To start another life
C
I saw you drive across the Memphis bridge
    G7                 C
But I don't believe my eyes

          F                        C
I can see Arkansas across the Mississippi
            G7                                    C     C7
I can see a big river barge headin' down to New Orleans
              F
I can see the cotton fields on the other side
        Fm             C
And the sun going down again
             F               G7
Oh I can see Arkansas  but I still don't see
        F       G7         C
Why the love we had should end


If it proved how much I love you
    F
I'd swim this ol' river tonight
C
I'd bet my soul against the undertow
        G7
For the chance to hold you tight

C
But there's more than a river between us
    F
And I can't swim that far
C
And as hard as I try I just can't drown
    G7                    C
The memories of where you are

Repeat #3 x2 Oh I can...
