Eric Clapton – River Of Tears (Guitar)

C                              F
  It's three miles to the river that would carry me away,

Dm7                                Gsus4     G
  And two miles to the dusty street   that I saw you on today,

C                                  F
  It's four miles to my lonely room where I'm gonna hide my face,

Dm7                                        Gsus4     G
  And about half a mile to the downtown bar   that I ran from in disgrace

Am
  Lord how long have I got to keep on running?

D9
  Seven hours, seven days or seven years?

G
  All I know is since you've been gone, 

F
Feel like I'm drowning in a river

                       C
Drowning in a river of tears

         F
Drowning in a river

     Dm7                              Gsus4 G
Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river

C                                       F
  In three more days, I leave this town, in disappear without a trace,

Dm7                                 Gsus4    G
  A year from now maybe settle down,   where no one knows my face,

C                             F
  I wish that I could hold you one more time to ease the pain,

Dm7                                    Gsus4     G
  But my times run out and I got to go,   got to run away again

Am
  Still I catch myself thinking 

D9
  One day I'll find my way back here

G
  And you'll save me from drowning,

F
Drowning in a river

F                      C
Drowning in a river of tears

              F
Drowning in a river

              Dm7                     Gsus4
Feel like I'm drowning, drowning in a river

G
  Lord how long must it go on?

F
Drowning in a river

                       C
Drowning in a river of tears
