C F Dm G Am Dm G F
(Instrumental)
CIt's three miles to the riverF that would carry me away,
Dmand two miles to the dusty streetG that I saw you on today,
CIt's four miles to my lonely roomF where I will hide my face,
Dmand about half a mile to the downtown barG that I ran from in disgrace
AmLord how long have I got to keep on running ?
DmSeven hours, seven days or seven years ?
GAll I know is since you've been gone,
FFeel like I'm drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of Ctears
FDrowning in a river
DmFeel like I'm drowning,G drowning in a river
(Instrumental)
CIn three more days, I leave this town,F and disappear without a trace,
DmA year from now maybe settle down,G where no one knows my face,
CI wish that I could hold youF one more time to ease the pain,
DmBut my times run out and I got to go,G got to run away again
AmStill I catch myself thinking
Dmone day I'll find my way back here
GAnd you'll save me from drowning,
FDrowning in a river, drowning in a river ofC tears
FDrowning in a river
DmFeel like I'm drowning,G drowning in the river
CLord, how long must this go on
(Instrumental)
FDrowning, drowning, drowning in a river of Ctears
