I went down to the river, flowing out onto the sea.
On my way to the ocean, let the spirit swallow me.
[C] I got low [Bb] down in the water, [Eb] I let the current [G] guide my [F] boat.
[D] I [C] got nine [Bb] kinds of [F] trouble, I'm just trying [Bb] to find [Cm] my way home.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ Over 20 [Bb] some years of living, [B] and [Eb] a thousand [E] wasted [F] [Cm] days.
Loved a [Bb] lot of [Gb] women, [F] many times I've gone the wrong way.
[Cm] Then I came [Bb] down to the [Ebm] water, for a [Gb] dip to cleanse [F] my soul.
[Cm] They keep telling me [Bb] that I'm just a [F] baby, baby, why do [Bb] I feel so [Cm] old?
Da [Bb] da da da da [Eb] da da da da [F] da da da.
[C] This is [F] the verge of a breakthrough, [Eb] it's a fine line that [G] cannot be bent.
[Cm] And I felt like [F] a river run dry, but [Eb] I don't know where all of [G] the rain water [Cm] went.
And I believe we [F] were all dead or dying, [Eb] but I see different [G] in the blue light.
[Cm] There is no [F] such thing as a dawn or [Eb] a dusk, it's daylight [G] until it is night.
You [F] gotta fight through the dimming, you [Eb] gotta [G] run into the wind.
You gotta [Cm] [F] rage against the dying of [Eb] the light, live for the [G] moment that's left.
You gotta [C] [F] fight against the dimming, you gotta [Eb] [G] run into the wind.
You gotta [Cm] [F] rage against the dying of [Eb] the light, live for the [G] moment that's left.
Cause [Ab] there is no such thing as a dying [Cm] man, you're alive till the moment we're dead.
[Ab] And a drowning man is just a living [G] man, who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath. _

[Cm] I went [Bb] down to the river,
[Ebm] Turned out [Gb] into [F] the [Cm] sea,
On my way [Bb] to the ocean,
[F] Let the spirit swallow me,
I [C] got low [Bb] down in the water,
[Eb] I let the current [F] guide my boat,
[Cm] I got [Bb] nine kinds of [F] trouble,
I'm just trying to [Bb] find [Cm] my way [Bb] home,
