Chords with lyrics

"Bottom Of The River"

[x indicates percussive guitar slap]

(Chorus)
[A minorAm] Hold my hand
[C majorC] Ooh, baby, it?s a [G+G]long way down to the [D MajorD] bottom of the river
[A minorAm] Hold my hand,
[C majorC]Ooh, baby, it?s a [G+G]long way down, a [D MajorD]long way down

[A minorAm]If you get [C majorC]sleep or [G+G]if you get [D MajorD]none
(The [A minorAm]cock?s gonna [C majorC]call in the [G+G]morning, [D MajorD]baby)
[A minorAm]Check the [C majorC]cupboard for your [G+G]daddy?s [D MajorD]gun
(Red sun rises like an early warning)
[A minorAm]The Lord?s gonna [C majorC]come for your [G+G]first born [D MajorD]son
(His hair?s on fire and his heart is burning)
[A minorAm]Go to the [C majorC]river where the [G+G]water [D MajorD]runs
(Wash him deep where the tides are turning)

[A minorAm]

And [C majorC]if [G+G]you [D MajorD]fall....
And [C majorC]if [G+G]you [D MajorD]fall....

[A minorAm]Hold my [x]hand
[C majorC]Ooh, [x] baby, it?s a [G+G]long way [x]down to the [D MajorD]bottom of the [x]river
[A minorAm]Hold my [x]hand,
[C majorC]Ooh, [x]baby, it?s a [G+G]long way [x]down, a [D MajorD]long way down

The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
(Drunk and driven by a devil?s hunger)
Drive your son like a railroad spike
(Into the water, let it pull him under)
Don?t you lift him, let him drown alive
(The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder)
Let that fever make the water rise
(And let the river run dry)

[D MajorD]And I said

Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it?s a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand,
Ooh, baby, it?s a long way down, a long way down
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

Alternatively, you could use

[A minorAm]If you get sleep or [C majorC]if you get none
(The [G+G]cock?s gonna call in the [D MajorD]morning, baby)
