Verse 1:
G                C
Down by the river,
Em                      C
and near the eastern shore.
G                                         C
There is a man who's been searching for love,
Em                     C
where he has never before.
G                C
He has a weak liver,
Em                    C
His soul is nearly gone.
G                                  C
He can't shake off all his wickedness
Em                          C
and he can't stop doin' wrong.

Verse 2:
G                C
Down by the river,
Em                           C
there's a girl who's seventeen
G                                      C
and all the make up can't protect her eyes
Em                          C
from all the evil she has seen.

G                       C
And if she don't deliver,
Em                    C
her daddy puts her down.
G                            C              Em
But somehow she tried to find the strength to pick herself off the ground.

Chorus:
C                        G      D       C          G        D
Sometimes life it feels like a cancer and there’s no reason to love
C                       G       D          Em       C           G
but I tell you now you’ll find the answer in the god who came from above

Verse 3:
G                        C    Em              C
Down by the river they met a girl they saw a light
G                          C   Em                                      C
and this light that came and spoke to them and he came to make things right
G                            C  Em                         C
He came to make things clearer, now the man who found his love
G                                 C     Em
and the girl she closed for all to see thanks to the man above

Chorus:
C                         G      D       C          G        D
Sometimes life it feels like a cancer and there’s no reason to love
C                         G       D          Em      C           G
but I tell you now you’ll find the answer in the god who came from above
Em               C            G
Oh and the god who came from above x7
