I've been walking too long, two long years
Fm Bb7 Eb
Shake my head and wonder why I cried those tears

And my eyes, they cannot see

Would you tell me why it is that these truths terrify me
B Ab
Yes, they terrify me
[Chorus]

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

Sweet love got to hold me under, save my soul

And my eyes turned up to heaven
