F# C# G# A#m
[Verse 1]
F# C# G# A#m
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
F# C# G# A#m
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
F# C# G# A#m
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
F# C# G# A#m
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
F# C# G# A#m
A# man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
F# C# G# A#m
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
F# C# G# A#m
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
F# C# G# A#m
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
F# C# G# A#m
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
F# C# G# A#m F7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
A#m C# A#m C#
River take me, river take me
A#m C# F# C# G# A#m
River take me far from trouble time
A#m C# A#m C#
River take me, river take me
A#m C# F# F# C#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
G# D# F# C# F7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
F# C# G# A#m
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
F# C# G# A#m
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
F# C# G# A#m
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
F# C# G# A#m
And live within means of my own two hands
F# C# G# A#m F7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
[Instrumental]
F# C# G# A#m
F# C# G# A#m
A#m
[Verse 3]
F# C# G# A#m
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
F# C# G# A#m
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
F# C# G# A#m
It can take you away to some far away place
F# C# G# A#m
It can power your cities, carry your waste
F# C# G# A#m
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
F# C# G# A#m
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
F# C# G# A#m
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
F# C# G# A#m
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
F# C# G# A#m
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
F# C# G# A#m F7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
A#m C# A#m C#
River take me, river take me
A#m C# F# C# G# A#m
River take me far from trouble time
A#m C# A#m C#
River take me, river take me
A#m C# F# C# G# A#m
River take me far from trouble time
A#m C# A#m C#
River take me, river take me
A#m C# F# F# C#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
G# D# F# C# F7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
F# C# G# D# F# C# F7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
