[Intro]
I went Cmdown to the riverA#
flowing oD#ut unto the seaF
on my Cmway to the oceaA#n
let the spD#irit swallow mFe.
I got low Cmdown in the wateA#r
I let the cD#urrent guide my bonFes
I’ve got Cmnine kinds of troubleA#
I’m just tD#rying to finFd my way home.

[verse 1]
Over twCmenty-some years of A#living
and a tD#housand wasted dFays
I have lCmoved a lot of A#women
Many tD#imes I’ve gone wrong wFays
And I cCmame down to the wA#ater
For a D#dip to cleanse my sFoul
They keep tCmelling me that I’m jA#ust a babe
But baby,D# why do I Ffeel so old?
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
CmThis is the verge of a breFakthrough
it’s a fiD#ne line that cannot be bFent
and I Cmfelt like I river run drFy
but I don’t know where D#all of the rainwater Fwent
And I bCmelieved we were all dead or A#dying
but I see diD#fferent in the blue Flight
there is nCmo such thing as a A#dawn or a dusk
it is dD#aylight until it is Fnight
[Chorus]
You’ve got to
