[Verse 1]
         Eb                 Db    
I've been walking too long, two 
      Ab
long years
                 Fm             
Shake my head and wonder why I 
Bb7   Eb
cried those tears
Ab        Db              Ab
Soles of my feet are burning, Lord
        Db
And my eyes, they cannot see
     Ab                 Eb     
Would you tell me why it is that 
            Gb          Db
these truths terrify me
     B         Ab
Yes, they terrify me


[Chorus]
              Eb             Db   
Take me down to the river, down to
             Ab
 the river then
           Eb                    
Sweet love got to walk beside me, 
   Db
hold my hand
Ab          Eb             
Down to the river, down to the 
Db          Ab
river, Lord
            Eb                  
Sweet love got to hold me under, 
  Db        Ab
save my soul

[Verse 2]
      Ab          Eb       Db    
Spent most of my life confused 
      Ab
and in pain
             Fm            
Things I cannot even begin to 
Bb7       Eb7
explain
          Ab          Db      Ab7
It takes more than a glass of cool 
water
    Db
To douse this flame
              Ab
Yes, with my peace and my cup
        Eb                   Gb
And my eyes turned up to heaven
Db
I'm just a beggar in the rain
   B                     Ab
Yes, a beggar in the rain, now


[Chorus]

              Eb     Db           
Down to the river, down to the 
     Ab
river then
                  Eb              
Sweet love got to walk beside me, 
Db
hold my hand
Ab          Eb             
Down to the river, down to the 
Db          Ab
river, Lord
            Eb                  
Sweet love got to hold me under, 
  Db        Ab
save my soul
