Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
C
I'm going down to the riverbank this morning
F C G
Way before the family is awake
Am C
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
F C G Am
And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake
[Verse 2]
C
You can't have love when you never can surrender
F C G
I've been spreading around my anger like a plague
F D
I have sailed this far with my boat on fire
F D Em
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
{Chorus]
F Am
I will soak my soul
G
Let the river take control
D
The river take control
F Am
And I know it's not too late
G
To let go the weight
Am
To let go the weight
[Verse 3]
C
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
F C G
It will seep its way into my heart
Am C
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years
F C G Am
And I'll embrace the wisdom that sun will impart
[Verse 4]
C
And with this heat burning inside me
F C G
I will warm all the people that I love
F D
In their darkest hours and the weakest of minds
F D Em
I'll light up their nights with every star I can find__
{Chorus]
F Am
I will soak my soul
G
Let the river take control
D
The river take control
F Am
And I know it's not too late
G
To let go the weight
To let go___
{Chorus]
F Am
Oh, I will soak my soul
G
Let the river take control
D
The river take control
F Am
And I know it's not too late
G
To let go the weight
Am
To let go the weight
[Outro]
F Am
Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
F Am
Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
F Am
Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
F Am
Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
