Justin Townes Earle - Harlem river blues

^ELord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d^A7rown Dirty water's gonna c^Eover me over and ^B7I'm not gonna make a ^Esound

^EI'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still ^A7can Troubled days are b^Eehind me now and I know they're gonna let me ^B7in So when you ^Esee me walkin' up the empty yard, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my ^A7hands Tell my mama I love her, tell my f^Eather I tried, give my ^B7money to my baby to s^Epend

^ELord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d^A7rown Dirty water's gonna c^Eover me over and ^B7I'm not gonna make a ^Esound

^EGood times come and they go, even a good man'll b^A7reak He'll let his troubles ^Ebury him whole even though he knows what's at ^B7stake So I'm ^Etaking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His ^A7grace I'm no fool, mama, I ^Eknow the difference between ^B7tempting and choosing my ^Efate

^ELord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to d^A7rown Dirty water's gonna c^Eover me over and ^B7I'm not gonna make a ^Esound
