Capo 1
[G]Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been [C]far from you
Ten-thousand miles [G]gone.
[G]Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of [C]me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't [G]clean.
[G]In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to [C]me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate [Am]clean".
[Am]Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]go
Oh, go [Am]on
Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]know.
[G]Tip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a [C]man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the [G]Jordan.
[G]Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of [C]me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't [Am]clean.
[Am]Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]go
Go [Am]on
Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]know.
I wanna [G]go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna [G]know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna [G]go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna [C]know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna [G]go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna [C]know, wanna know, wanna know.
[Am]Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]go
Lord, please let me [Am]know
Take me to your [C]river
I wanna [G]know.
