River Of Tears
Ton : CEnglish
Intro
C F Dm G Am Dm G F
(Instrumental)
Couplet
CIt's three miles to the river Fthat would carry me away,
DmAnd two miles to the dusty street Gthat I saw you on today,
CIt's four miles to my lonely room Fwhere I will hide my face,
DmAnd about half a mile to the downtown bar Gthat I ran from in disgrace
Refrain
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, Gdrowning in a river
(Instrumental)
Couplet
CIn three more days, I leave this town, Fand disappear without a trace,
DmA year from now maybe settle down, Gwhere no one knows my face,
CI wish that I could hold you Fone more time to ease the pain,
DmBut my times run out and I got to go, Ggot to run away again
Refrain
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 of Ctears
FDrowning in a river
DmFeel like I'm drowning, Gdrowning in the river
Refrain
CLord, how long must this go on
(Instrumental)
FDrowning, drowning, drowning in a river of Ctears
