Chords

[Intro] |Am |Am |G |Em | |Am |Am |Am |Am | [Verse]
Am                  G
 I was born on the banks of Eternity

   Dm                      F
A page of the history it teaches

Am                     G
 Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane

        Dm                           F
Leaving everything along the way in pieces
[Pre-Chorus]
                Dm                    G
Some may have cheered, some may have wondered

          Dm             G
If I am flesh, if I am stone

                 Dm                    G
Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder

             Dm                         G
You are the light that has led me back home
[Chorus]
 C
Take me to the river, baby

 G
Wash away the lies

         Dm                   F
I've got no reputation living in your eyes

 C
Take me to Eternity

 G               G#m7  Am
Let me bury this disgu-ise
[Verse]
Am                      G
 A Southern boy has it harder sometimes

      Dm                       F
It's like you were climbing a razor

Am                        G
 You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust

        Dm                          F
And the man in the mirror was a stranger
[Pre-Chorus]
            Dm                 G
Look at me now, a soulless survivor

            Dm                      G
No mask can hide the man that I've made

            Dm                 G
You ease my pain. You make it silent

          Dm                   G
Slowly I feel it beginning to fade
[Chorus]
 C
Take me to the river, baby

 G
Wash away the lies

         Dm                   F
I've got no reputation living in your eyes

 C
Take me to Eternity

 G               G#m7  Am
Let me bury this disgu-ise
[Bridge]
           G
I want to feel it

                           Am
Rushing over me into the tide

           G
I want to taste it

                                 F    G
Every moment 'til the end of my life
[Solo] |Am |Am |Am |Am |G |Em |Am |Am | [Pre-Chorus]
              Dm                   G
I have laid still, adrift in your memory

             Dm                        G
Hoping your faith would erase all the years

            Dm               G
Maybe some time, maybe some magic

            Dm                         G
Maybe your love will make everything clear
[Chorus]
 C
Take me to the river, baby

 G
Wash away the lies

         Dm                   F
I've got no reputation living in your eyes

 C
Take me to Eternity

 G               G#m7  Am
Let me bury this disgu-ise

 C
Take me to the river, baby

 G
Wash away the lies

          Dm                     F
There are no expectations hiding in your eyes

 C
Take me to Eternity

 G             G#m7        Am
Let me bury this . . . disguise
[Ending] |Am |Am |Am |Am |Am |Am |
