River, river, carry me on
To the (F major) place where (C major) I come from
Verse 2
(C major) So (F major) deep, (G major) so (C major) wide,
will you (F major) take me on your back for a (C major) ride

(A minor) would you swallow (F major) me deep inside (C major)

(C major) In the washing (F major) of the wa (D major) ter
will you (Gsus4) take it all away (C major)
Bring (F major) me (D major) something to take (Gsus4) this pain away
