The River Chords by Audra Mae

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've done a bad thing, it's okay _ _ I'm going down to the river today _ _
[Bm] And the river's gonna wash my sins away Till I'm born again [F#] tomorrow _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Water get over my head [Bm] Make me forget [F#] my sorrow _ _ _ _ _
I'm going down to the river alone _ _ Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone _
[Bm] And if they cry when I don't come home Just lie and tell [F#] them I'm funnin' _ _ _ _
[C#] Water get out of my eyes [Bm] Into the river wide [F#] _ I'm runnin' _ _
And I [Bm] can't swim, but it's alright Cause all [C#] my sin would drag me down even if [F#] I could
And if it weren't for [Bm] him and the Lord [F#] _ I'd [C#] be living for the light like a good girl should
Cause a [F#] good girl _ should _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This old town will hide my skin _ I can't speak the trouble I'm in _
[Bm] So if I don't come back again All I'll be [F#] needing is a pillow _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Cause where I carved my name [Bm] Is where my soul will remain and [F#] I'll still love _ _ _
Lord and I [Bm] can't swim, but [F#] it's alright Cause all [C#] my sin would [D#] drag me down even if [F#] I could
And if it weren't [Bm] for him and the Lord [F#] _ _ _
[C#] I'd be living for the light like a good girl should
Cause a [F#] good girl _ should _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [D#] _ _ [F#] _ _
I [Bm] have
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ When _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I meet the Lord so kind _ _ I'm gonna give him peace of my mind _
[Bm] And I'll tell him I wanna know _ _ When he's [F#] so _ _ _ unforgiving
And my [C#] daddy won't look in my [Bm] eyes Mama knows the lies [F#] _ I'm living _ _
Lord and I [Bm] can't swim, but [F#] it's alright Cause [C#] all my sin would drag me down even [F#] if I could
[G#] And if it weren't [Bm] for him and the Lord [F#] I'd _ [C#] be living for the light like a good girl should
[F#] Cause _ _ _ a good girl should _ _ _ _
