[Verse 1]
[G]I am [F]just a [C]child in the sun
[G]Just [F]another [C]soul on the run
[G]One more [F]of your[C] unwanted sons
Tell me[D] where can I go
G F C C x2
[Verse 2]
I[G] had a [F]line I[C] tried for a while
[G]Now I'm[F] walkin[C] mile after mile
[G]On my[F] face no[C] trace of a smile
Why does[D] time pass so slow
G F C C x2
[Verse 3]
I[G] have no[F] ties my[C] hands are unbound
There[G] is no[F] friend no[C] love I have found
I [G]have no [F]ups I'm[C] fixed to the ground
Tell me[D] river where you flow.
[Chorus]
[G]Take me[F] down to the[C] river
[G]Take me[F] down to the[C] sea
