I start it with these chords E7 and E flat7 and back to E7, up the neck:
-------7--- and the E flat 6 -------6---
-------5--- (if that's it's name) -------5---
-------7--- -------6---
-------6--- -------5---
xxxxxxx---- xxxxxx-----
-------0--- --------0--
The progression then goes:
(E7) Give me back (E flat 6) my old boat (E7) I'm gonna sail boys (A) if
she'll float
(E, played at 1st fret) I've got them deep river (B7)blues
--------------------------3bend---3b---0----------------
------------------------------------------------3----0--
--------------------------------------------------------
------1------1------------------------------------------
-2------------------------------------------------------
----------2---------------------------------------------
(E7) If my boat (Efl6) sinks with me (E7) I'm going down boys (A)don't you
see
(E)I've got them (B7)deep river (E) blues
