[G]
[C] [G] [D]
[Gm] [G] But I'm going uptown to the Harlem [C] River to drown.
[G] Dirty water's gonna cover me over [D] and I'm [Gm] not gonna make a sound.
I'm on a roll, Mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while [C] I still can.
[G] Troubled days are behind me now [Em] and I know [Gm] they're gonna let [D] me [Gm] in.
[G] So when you see me walking up the empty yard just to sing, you need me clapping [C] my hands.
Tell my Mama [Gm] I love [G] her, tell my father I tried, [D] give my money [Gm] to my baby [G] to [Gm] spend.
[G] Lord, I'm going uptown to the Harlem River [C] to drown.
[Gm] Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me over [D] and I'm [Bb] not gonna [G] make a sound.
[C] [G] [Gm] [D]
[Gm] [G] The time's come and they go and even [Gm] a good man'll break.
He'll [G] let his troubles bury him whole even though he knows [D] it's his [Gm] day.
[G] So I'm taking no chances, I'm carrying over while I'm still good [C] in His grace.
Again, I'm no [G] fool, Mama, I [Bb] know the [D] difference between [Bb] tempting and [G] choosing my fate.
Lord, I'm going uptown to the Harlem [C] River to drown.
Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me [D] over and [Bb] I'm not gonna [G] make a sound.
[C] [G] [Gm] [D]
[Gm] [G] Lord, I'm going uptown to the [Gm] Harlem River to drown.
Dirty water's gonna [G] cover me over and I'm [Gm] not gonna [G] make a sound.
Lord, I'm [N] going uptown to the Harlem River to drown.
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a [G] sound.
