Harlem River Blues

G C G D G

[Chorus]
G                            
Lord, I'm goin' uptown, to the 
                   C
Harlem River to drown,
                  G                
Dirty water gonna cover me over and
D                    G
 I'm not gonna make a sound

[Verse 1]
G                                 
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I
                               C
 gotta get there while I still can,
                   G               
Troubled days are behind me now and
                             D
 I know they're gonna let me in,
            G                    
So when you see me walkin' up the 
FDR drive, just a-singin' and 
               C
a-clappin' my hands
Tell my mama I love her, tell my 
 G                      D         
Daddy I tried, give my money to my
           G
 baby to spend.

Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the 
             C
Harlem River to drown
                     G           
Dirty water's gonna cover me over

[Verse 2]
G                                 
Good times come and they go, even 
               C
a good man'll break
                       G       
He'll let his troubles bury him 
whole even though he knows what's at
  D
 stake
       G                           
So I'm taking no chances, carrying 
over while I'm still good in His 
C
grace
                     G       
I'm no fool, mama, I know the 
                    D          
difference between tempting and 
              G
choosing my fate

[Chorus]
G                                 
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the 
             C
Harlem River to drown
                     G           
Dirty water's gonna cover me over 
     D                    G
and I'm not gonna make a sound
G                                 
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the 
             C
Harlem River to drown
                     G           
Dirty water's gonna cover me over 
     D                    G
and I'm not gonna make a sound
