D7


[Verse 1]
D7                                     G7
I don't know why I love you like I do
D7                                                     G7
After all them changes you've been puttin' me through
D7                                    G7
You stole my money and my cigarettes
    D7                                     G7
And I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet


[Prechorus]
        Bb                 F
I wanna know, oh won't you tell me
        C                G
Tell me how, how could I stay here with you
       G7
Somebody please


[Chorus]
D7
Take me to the river and wash me down
D7
Take me to the river and put my feet back on the ground

[Verse 2]
D7                                     G7
I don't know why you treat me so bad
D7                                                 G7
After of all them good times that you and me had
D7                                     G7
Love is an emotion that I can't forget
D7                                        G7
My sweet sixteen keeps my mind in a mess


[Prechorus]
        Bb                 F
I wanna know, oh won't you tell me
        C                G
Tell me how, how could I stay here with you
       G7
Somebody help me

[Chorus]
D7
Take me to the river and wash me down
D7
Just take me to the river and put my feet back on the ground

[Bridge]
    Bm       G7
Oh, love me, squeeze me
Bm           G7
Hold me, and baby, you can tease me
F      A7
Till I can't take no more

D7                                          G7
Your pretty picture makes my teardrops fall
