 Cripple Creek Ferry : After the Goldrush : Neil Young

 Intro:
       
              
 Chorus:
                        
 Hey hey cripple creek ferry

                                   
 Butting through the overhanging trees

                                  
 Make way for the cripple creek ferry

                      
 The water's going down

                         
 It's a mighty tight  sque eze

       
              
                            
 All alone the captain stands

 Hasn't heard from his deck hands

                                  
 The gambler tips his hat and walks

                   ()   
 Towards the door

                               
 It's the second half of the cruise

                                
 And you know he hates to lose   /  /

                            
 Hey hey cripple creek ferry
 Butting through the overhanging trees
 Make way for the cripple creek ferry
 The water's going down
 It's a mighty tight squeeze (to fade)

 to get the rhythm, change gradually between Am and C 
 you'll get it easily from the recording!
