[G] [Gm]
[A] [Gm]
[A] [Gm]
Take me back to my boat on the river [F] I need to go down, [D] need to come [Gm] down
Take me back to my boat on the river [F] And I won't cry out [Gm] anymore
Time stands still as I gaze in the water [F] She eases me down, [D] touching me gently
[Gm] With the waters that flow past my boat on the river [F] So I don't cry out [Gm] anymore
[F] Oh, the river is [D] wise The river, it touches [Gm] my life like the waves on [C] the sand
[Cm] And all roads lead to [Gm] tranquility base [A] Where the frown on my face [D] disappears
[Gm] Take me down to my boat on the river [F] And I [D] won't cry out [Gm] anymore
Oh,
[F]
[D] [Gm]
[F] [Gm]
[F] the river is [D] deep The river, it touches [Gm] my life like the waves [C] on the sand
And [Cm] all roads lead to [Gm] tranquility base [A] Where the frown on my face [D] disappears
[Gm] Take me down to my boat on the river [F] I need to go down, [D] won't you let me go [Gm] down
Take me back to my boat on the river [F] And I won't cry out [Gm] anymore
And [F] I won't cry out [Gm] anymore [A] And I won't cry [Gm] out anymore
