E B F# G#m
[Verse 1]
E B F# G#m
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
E B F# G#m
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
E B F# G#m
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
E B F# G#m
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
E B F# G#m
G# man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
E B F# G#m
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
E B F# G#m
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
E B F# G#m
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
E B F# G#m
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
E B F# G#m D#7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
G#m B G#m B
River take me, river take me
G#m B E B F# G#m
River take me far from trouble time
G#m B G#m B
River take me, river take me
G#m B E E B
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
F# C# E B D#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
E B F# G#m
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
E B F# G#m
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
E B F# G#m
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
E B F# G#m
And live within means of my own two hands
E B F# G#m D#7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
[Instrumental]
E B F# G#m
E B F# G#m
G#m
[Verse 3]
E B F# G#m
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
E B F# G#m
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
E B F# G#m
It can take you away to some far away place
E B F# G#m
It can power your cities, carry your waste
E B F# G#m
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
E B F# G#m
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
E B F# G#m
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
E B F# G#m
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
E B F# G#m
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
E B F# G#m D#7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
G#m B G#m B
River take me, river take me
G#m B E B F# G#m
River take me far from trouble time
G#m B G#m B
River take me, river take me
G#m B E B F# G#m
River take me far from trouble time
G#m B G#m B
River take me, river take me
G#m B E E B
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
F# C# E B D#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
E B F# C# E B D#7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
