James River blues

I just heard the awful news
D G
I could steer around the rocks
D G
But they're bustin' down the docks
D G D G
D G
James River blues
D G
That train came on through
D G
And the works getting slow
D G
Now where's a boat man to go?
Bm G
I think I'll float on down
Bm G
To Richmond town
Bm G
They don't need us anymore
Bm
Haulin' freight from shore to shore
G
That big iron hauls much more
C
Than we ever could before
D G D G
D G
I've seen good men going wrong
D G
I've seen bad ones get it right
D G
As that river rolls along
D G
I'll be stepping out tonight
Bm G
On the cool flow
Bm G
Floatin' down, down below
Bm G
The bridge to the waters edge
Bm G
From the ridge to ledge
Bm G
From the hills to the sea
Bm G A
I'll become a memory
D G

I'm pretty sure at the end of the Chorus it is an "A" Chord and not a C. If you listen to the recording you'll hear it. But Great tab otherwise. I'll give you 5. good job

LMenke003 is right, the 2 chorus endings should be like this:
G
That big iron hauls much more
A D
Than we ever could before
And:
Bm G A D
I'll become a memoryyyy
