         Eb                 Db          Ab
I've been walking too long, two long years

                 Fm             Bb7   Eb
Shake my head and wonder why I cried those tears

Ab        Db              Ab
Soles of my feet are burning, Lord

        Db
And my eyes, they cannot see

     Ab                 Eb                 Gb          Db
Would you tell me why it is that these truths terrify me

Yes, they terrify me
[Chorus]
              Eb             Db                Ab
Take me down to the river, down to the river then

           Eb                       Db
Sweet love got to walk beside me, hold my hand

Ab          Eb             Db          Ab
Down to the river, down to the river, Lord

            Eb                    Db        Ab
Sweet love got to hold me under, save my soul

                    E     Db
Yes, you've got to save my soul

Spent most of my life confused and in pain

             Fm            Bb7       Eb7
Things I cannot even begin to explain

          Ab          Db      Ab7
It takes more than a glass of cool water

    Db
To douse this flame

              Ab
Yes, with my peace and my cup

        Eb                   Gb
And my eyes turned up to heaven

I'm just a beggar in the rain

   B                     Ab
Yes, a beggar in the rain, now

Down to the river, down to the river then

Sweet love got to walk beside me, hold my hand

Ab          Eb             Db          Ab
Down to the river, down to the river, Lord

            Eb                    Db        Ab
Sweet love got to hold me under, save my soul
