F
Been traveling these white roads for so long
      Bb
My heart's been far from you

Ten thousand miles gone
   F
Oh, I wanna come near
                     Bb  
And give you every part of me

But there's blood on my hands
                F
And my lips aren't clean

In the darkness I remember
                  Bb
Momma's words; reoccur to me

Surrender to the good Lord

And he'll wipe your slate clean

  Gm
(And I'll say)
                Bb
Take me to the river
        F      Dm
I wanna go
Gm                Bb
Take me to the river
         F
I wanna go

F
Dip me in your smooth waters

And I'll go in
Bb 
As a woman with many crimes

Come up for air
                F
As my sin flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near
                    Bb
And give you every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

Gm
(So please)
                Bb
Take me to the river
        F
I wanna go
         Dm
(Yes I do, Take me to the river)
Gm                 Bb
Take me to your river
          F
I wanna know
                   Dm
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
          Gm
(Please Lord)
                 Bb
Take me to the river
        F
I wanna go
         Dm
(Ooooh, take my hand)
Gm               Bb
Take me to the river
          F
I wanna know
         Dm
(I wanna know about yah)

(I wanna know all about you)
 Gm             Bb
Take me to the river
        F 
I wanna go
         Dm
(Ooh, Jesus)
   Gm             Bb
Take me to the river
         F
I wanna go
       Dm
(Oooh, Take me)
Gm                Bb
Take me to the river
         F
I wanna go
