Chords with lyrics
FF
the water comes down from the higher ground
FF A minorAm Bb majorBb
and it's carryin' the sin of man
C majorC
we can't help but get thirsty
FF
down here where the river is damned
FF
they say good things happen up river
FF A minorAm Bb majorBb
the river it can wash a man clean
C majorC
but down here the water's just dirty
FF
you can try but it's hard to get up from down stream
Bb majorBb
but I'll try again
FF
I'll paddle up this river of sin
Bb majorBb FF
i'll send up a broken amen
C majorC A7A7 DmDm Bb majorBb
i'll swallow some pride but i won't be denied
C majorC FF
'cause i'll try again and again
FF
If i had a boat for this river
FF A minorAm Bb majorBb
i'd find out just what it all means
C majorC
i'd go see all those used to be heathens
FF
come up from the water washed clean
FF
and i'd wash my own sins in that river
FF A minorAm Bb majorBb
but i wonder how much more it can bear
C majorC
it must be so full of misdoing and shame
FF
i can't see the bottom from here
Bb majorBb
but I'll try again
FF
I'll paddle up this river of sin
Bb majorBb FF
i'll send up a broken amen
C majorC A7A7 DmDm Bb majorBb
i'll swallow some pride but i won't be denied
C majorC FF
'cause i'll try again and again
