Topic: Marty Robbins song "The Next Bend in the River"

This is the chords and words to Marty Robbins " The Next Bend in the River"
 
The Bend In The River
by Marty Robbins

Am                         C
Past the first bend in the river
   Am                   Dm
Is another bend I can't see,

And the bend that keeps calling is
                                C
The bend that keeps hiding from me.


Edited to two lines for demonstration purposes. Anyone wanting the full song can write to 'westernman' privately. Roger Guppy (Moderator)

Please give this Marty Robbins classic western song a chance before you reject it . It certainly is (chordie.com) worthy!!! from Randall @ randallraplee@gmail.com. Let it happen and I will give you a personal account (s) of my interaction (s) with Marty Robbins himself and or with members of my family! No kidding! That is what you call "Provenance"!

Re: Marty Robbins song "The Next Bend in the River"

It is illegal to post copyright material and have had to edit your post. Sadly the problems come, not from the authors of the music, but from the publishers. They are very quick to litigate against infringements so Chordie does not host any songs, apart from the original ones written by our Members. All the songs you see are gathered from others sites on the Internet and the presentation formatting here makes it look as they from here, but they are not.


However there are sites that do accept and host songs. Please get it out there and use the link in Resources to to get it shown on Chordie.

...by the way. Most hosting sites require songs to be written in chopro for correct formatting so I have copied your work and I will return it to you in a day or two, re-written in the correct manner.

Re: Marty Robbins song "The Next Bend in the River"

I am very disappointed.

Having spending over an hour re-writing this in cho-pro and deciding to check it against the song on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irG-kUQRi14 before sending to to ´westernman´ I find that:

a/ The key is Bm not Am.

b/ The chords are wrong

c/ Two identical (and wrong) versions are already on-line at ´classic country lyrics and ´guitar party´.

Why do I waste my time???

And as it turns out this guy never even came back after posting.  What's up with that?  time for a drink Roger!

We love Marty Robins, man, we really do.   But we hate cease and desist letters from lawyers, which is what you get when you post up the entirety of a copyrighted song.   Chordie already skates on a very thin edge in that regard, and can't host anything copyrighted, which is why it's a search engine and formatting tool.

Someday we'll win this thing...
