[VERSE I]
        E               D
There's blue skies all around me
        A                    E
And the world looks just the same
E                D
 It's hard to be criminal
     A               E
when you all know my name
E            D
 Sometimes I wonder
    A                E
Sometimes I wanna be free
E                 D
 Well, you can be king of me
    A ~~
And I'll be...
           E
the queen

There ain't no doubt about it

you best believe in Jesus if
       E7      E      E
you'll make it in the world"
          D           D    A
I'm going back to the river
      A              E    E7 E    E7 E    E7 E
Where noone knows my name
          D                    A
I'm going back to the river..  oh
