RIVER WHERE I WA
*Em7VersGe1
Em7I live my life, like a free Gman
Em7I go town to town, with a traveling Gband
I’ve made my Dliving, with my own Emtwo hands
But DLord, I want to Cgo to that GSouthern land.
*VERSE 2
Em7I’ve been doing this, for many a Gyear
Em7I’m sure that I’ve shed, aG million tears.
And slowing Ddown, is my only Emfear.
But those Dbluebirds singing is Call I want to Ghear
*CHORUS
Down by the Driver, where the cool water Emflows
The sun beats Dhot, and it never Csnows
The bluebirds Dsing, and the wild flowers Emgrow
Down by the Griver is Cwhere I wanna Ggo.
*Verse 3
So take me dEm7own, from where I’ve Gbeen
Take me Em7back, do whatever you Gcan
Take me Dwhere, it all Embegan
Cause DLord, I’m ready Cfor this road to Gend
*CHORUS REPEAT
*BRIDGE
I wandered long Em7enough, I’ve sung my share of Gsongs
The river keeps on Em7pulling me where my soul Gbelongs
There’s a silver Dline of moonlight,
On the water down Embelow
I see my younger Cfootsteps in the places I used to Ggo
DTime’s been a heavy burden, but I’ve Emlearned to take it slow
CLead me to the river, Lord, I’m Gready to let go
*CHORUS REPEAT
