Chords

[Intro] F A Bb F Gm A Dm Dm [Verse 1]
Dm
She said take your trouble to the river

        C
Let the muddy water wash it away

       G
If the truth don't float back up to the top

        Dm
You can bid our love good day

     Dm
So I took to the edge, I dove on in,

    C
The current went and stole me away

G
Rocks and gravel, I ain't got a paddle

   Dm
To dig my dying grave
Gm A7 Dm Dm [Verse 2]
      Dm
See a trail of tears come trickling down

          C
Where the water's got a bitter taste

   G
My heart is heavy and my boots ain't steady

        Dm
And the waves keep slapping my face

      Dm
I can hear her voice in the howling rain

C
Saying it's sink or swim

        G
But the deed's all done, I'm going down

      Dm
And I won't be back again
[Chorus]
    G
God damn this river

        Dm
And its wandering ways

        Bb
And the love we made

    F
Was shallow indeed

    Gm
I'm sinking like a ship I'm a runaway devil

      A
And I ain't got a paddle

      A N.C.  Dm
Going up sh*t creek
[Verse 3]
          Dm
There's a bend up ahead by the dead bulrushes

          C
Where the cottonmouth coil and play

          G
I've been floating by levies and rusted out Chevys

    Dm
For now on fifteen days

       Dm
In the fog, in the moon, in the Mississippi mud

     C
Everywhere I see her face

        G
But I'm only a pebble in the belly of the devil

     Dm
In a godforsaken place
[Chorus]
    G
God damn this river

        Dm
And its wandering ways

        Bb
And the love we made

    F
Was shallow indeed

    Gm
I'm sinking like a ship I'm a runaway devil

      A
And I ain't got a paddle

      A N.C.  Dm
Going up sh*t creek

[Solo] Dm C G Dm Dm C G Dm Gm Dm Bb F C Bb G A A [Verse 4]
     Dm
So I reach for the reeds and the roots of the willows

     C
That rise like a ghost from the bank

         G
Hear the roar and the crash of every lost soul

     Dm
That sprung a leak and sank

        Dm
When my body is a bag of broken bones

       C
With a farewell breath I call

    G
God damn you lover there will never be another

         Dm
And it's over the waterfall
[Chorus]
    G
God damn this river

        Dm
And its wicked ways

        Bb
And the love we made

    F
Was bittersweet

    Gm
I'm sinking like a ship I'm a runaway devil

      A
And I ain't got a paddle
[Chorus]
      G
I say God damn this river

        Dm
And its wandering ways

        Bb
And the love we made

    F
Was shallow indeed

    Gm
I'm sinking like a ship I'm a runaway devil

      A
And I ain't got a paddle

      A N.C.  Dm
Going up sh*t creek
