G G Em D C D G
G G Em D C

G   C   Em  D  G


Verse:
                          G
I'm still the man that I was
               C                   G
Just a little more grey, a little more stay
          Em   D           C
A little less sting in my buzz

                 G
Still chasing a song
           C
Between a verse and a bridge
        G              Em        D        C
I know life is just a chorus we sing along


Pre-Chorus:
         Em                C                       G
And sometimes I think I'm knocking on the door of Heaven
         Em                  C          G
And sometimes I feel like a highway to Hell

         Em              G         D               C
And the circle spins unbroken, and we all run wide open
                                D
'Til we run right back into ourselves


Chorus:
         G           Em             C             G
Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
 G          G/B   Em        D        C
Raise your hands, all hail rock 'n' roll

           G    D/F#     Em    D
Change my life, wash me clean with
     C          D      G
The truth of a guitar picker

         G        D/F#        Em     D      Cmaj7
For the songs he sings, I'll gladly give my soul


Instrumental:
G   Cmaj7   Em  D  G


Verse:
       G
Evangeline
      C
On a Banjolin
       G
Light bleeding in
             Em           D      C
Through the stained glass of my heart

              G
The song she hums
      C
Stuck in my head
       G
Could raise the dead
         Em        D          C
Bring a blind man out of the dark


Pre-Chorus:
           Em                  C                G
Yeah, sometimes I feel like a candle in the wind
         Em                 C                       G
And sometimes I'm just the dust that that wind blows

         Em              G             Em      D        C
And the circle spins unbroken 'til my staying must be going
                                            D
And it goes back to when she was still mine to hold


Chorus:
         G           Em             C             G
Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
 G          D     Em        D        C
Raise your hands, all hail rock 'n' roll

               G             C
And change my life, wash me clean with
     C          D
The faith of an amen whisper

         G        D/F#         Em     D       C    Em   C   Em   C  D
For the songs she sings, I'll gladly give my soooooooul


Break:
                Em
Yeah, where the angels sing
           C
Where the lost get found
           Em
Where the dirt gets clean
          C
With the sound
          D
With the sound going down


Chorus:
         G           Em             C     D       G
Take me down to the water, dunk my head into the river
 G  G/B      Em   D        C
        All hail rock 'n' roll

             G         D/F#  Em
I change my life, wash everything
        D        C          D    G
When I sing the hymns of a neon drifter

         G     D/F#      Em           D          C     C
Wash the blood from the wood of this six-string soul


Outro:

       C    G   G   G   G   G  F
