Brown Bird – Down To The River chords

Capo 3rd fret

AmLord I can't feed the baby, mama's sick and in bed
AmI've got a world full of worry running wild in my head
DmI spent all my money just to make ends meet
                                    AmI'm begging Lord won't you send me relief
E                                            Dm                   Am   EThere ain't nobody in this world who'd bet a dime on anybody like me


AmSo I went down to the river of insufferable sins
AmLord I tried but the water wouldn't let me come in
DmToo many lives have been broken
                              AmThere's too much blood on my hands
E                                          Dm                    Am   EAin't no water in this world could turn me back into an innocent man

AmSo I made up my mind to find that palace of fire
AmSurely the Lord's fallen angel understands my desire
DmHe's been defiled and defeated still he never gives in
                                     AmI know he'll help me on my feet once again
E                                           Dm                             Am  EAin't no soul in this whole world but Satan understand the state that I'm in

AmBut I went down to the fires of insufferable sin
AmLord I tried but the devil wouldn't let me come in
DmUnholy trust has been broken
                               AmHe don't know on which side I stand
E                                               Dm                     Am   EThere ain't no room among the damned for such a broken and a penitent man

(Half time)
AmAnd then my good woman rises from her sickness in bed
AmPuts her hands on my thighs and plants a kiss on my head
DmSays if the water won't have ya, if the devil's too blind
                                       AmI know that truly you were meant to be mine
E                                              Dm                         Am   EAnd then she takes me by the hand and shows me how to leave my worries behind

AmI went down to the river of insufferable sins
AmLord I tried but the water wouldn't let me come in
DmToo many lives have been broken
                              AmThere's too much blood on my hands
E                                               Dm                        Am       EOnly one soul in this whole world would have me just the goddamned way that I am
