Chord/Tab song: The River

The River Guitar Chords


[G]I've done a bad thing it's okay[G]
[G]I'm going down to the river today[G]
And the[Cm] river's gonna wash my sins away[Cm]
Til I'm born again[G] tomorrow[G]
[D]Oh to get over my head
[Cm]Make me forget my [G]sorrow[G]

[G]I'm going down to the river alone[G]
[G]Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone[G]
[Cm]And if they cry when I don't come hom[Cm]e
Just lie and tell t[G]hem I'm funnin'
[D]Whoa to get out of my eyes
[Cm]Into the river wide I'm[G] runnin'

And I can't sw[Cm]im
But it's alri[G]ght
'Cause all my [D]sin will drag me down even if I [G]could
And if it weren't for [Cm]him and the love that [G]night
I'd be [D]living for the light like a good girl [D]should
'Cause a good girl [G]should

The same chords progression goes for the rest of the song

The song can also be played using E, Am, and B7 instead of G, Cm, and D (D7) with a
capo on the 2nd fret for it to sound like the original song.
