[E]
I'd like to dedicate [Em] this song to little Junior Park, my cousin, [E] right?
It's going on, [Em] but we've got to kind of carry on in his name.
He sang, I don't know why I [D] love you like I do.
[E] And all the changes that [D] you put me through.
[E] You stole my money and my cigarette.
And I haven't seen how I [D] have to yet.
[C] I want to know, [G] won't you tell me, [D] I love [A] to stay.
Take me to [E] the river and wash me down.
Won't you pay my show?
Put my feet on the ground.
She [D] treated me so bad.
[E] After all the things that we could have had.
Love is an emotion that I can't forget.
My sweet 16, I will never [D] regret.
I [C] want to know, [G] won't you tell me, [D] I [A] love to stay.
[E]
[C#m] Hold [A] me, love [C#m] me, please [A] me, please [G] me.
Till [B] I change, till I change, till I change for [E] good.
Take me to the river.
I don't know why I love you like I do.
And all the things that you put me through.
Sting candles and burning on my wall.
Tell me it's gonna be difficult.
[D] I've done all [C] I want to know.
[G] Won't you tell me, [D] I [A] love to stay.
I want
[E]
to know, take me to the river.
I want to know, won't you let me in the water.
I want to know, won't you let me in the water.
Let me in the water.
Let me in the water.
