Chords for BROWN BIRD: "Down to the River" Lyrics

[C] _ [Eb] _ [F] _ [Gbm] _ [C] _ [Eb] _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Lord, I can't feel a baby when I'm sick in bed
And I got a world full of worry running wild in my head
I [Fm] spent all my money just [Cm] to make ends meet
Begging Lord, won't you send me relief _
[G] There ain't nobody in this world
That better die [Cm] than anybody like me
_ _ _ [G] _ _
So I went [Cm] down to the river
And suffered with sin
Lord, I tried but the water wouldn't let me come here
So many [Fm] lives have been broken
There's [Cm] too much blood on my hands _ _ _
There [G] ain't no water in this world
That'll [Fm] turn me [Cm] back into an aimless man
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [Cm] So I made up my mind to find a [C] palace of fire
So I can leave the Lord's fallen angel who understands my desire
He's been [Fm] defiled and defeated, still he never gives in
[Cm] I know he'll help me on my feet once again
[Gm] Can't no soul in this whole world but Satan
[Cm]
Understand the state that I'm _ in
_ [G] _
_ But I [Cm] went down to the fire
And suffered with sin
Lord, I tried but the devil wouldn't let me come here
And [Fm] all of trust has been broken
There's no [G] one [Cm] beside I stand _ _ _
_ [G] There ain't no room among the damned
For [Cm] such a broken man or can it be man? _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ And then my [Cm]
good woman rises from her sickness and death
Puts her hand on my thighs and dances a kiss on my head
Says [Eb] if [Fm] the water won't have you, if the devil's too [Cm] blind
I know that truly you were meant to be mine _ _
[G] _ And then she takes me by the hand
And [Fm] shows [Cm] me how to leave my worries behind
_ _ [G] _ _ _ I've been [Cm] down to the river
And suffered with sin
Lord, I tried but the water wouldn't let me come here
And [Fm] many lives have been broken
There's [Cm] too much blood on my hands
_ _ _ _ [G] Only one soul in this whole world would [Cm] have me
Just the goddamned way that I am
_ _ _ [G] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
