[Verse 1]
D# A# F Gm
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
D# A# F Gm
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
D# A# F Gm
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
D# A# F Gm
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
D# A# F Gm
G man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
D# A# F Gm
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
D# A# F Gm
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
D# A# F Gm
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
D# A# F Gm
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
D# A# F Gm D7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
Gm A# Gm A#
River take me, river take me
Gm A# D# A# F Gm
River take me far from trouble time
Gm A# Gm A#
River take me, river take me
Gm A# D# D# A#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
F C D# A# D7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
D# A# F Gm
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
D# A# F Gm
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
D# A# F Gm
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
D# A# F Gm
And live within means of my own two hands
D# A# F Gm D7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
[Instrumental]
D# A# F Gm

Gm
[Verse 3]
D# A# F Gm
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
D# A# F Gm
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
D# A# F Gm
It can take you away to some far away place
D# A# F Gm
It can power your cities, carry your waste
D# A# F Gm
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
D# A# F Gm
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
D# A# F Gm
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
D# A# F Gm
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
D# A# F Gm
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
D# A# F Gm D7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
Gm A# Gm A#
River take me, river take me
Gm A# D# A# F Gm
River take me far from trouble time
Gm A# Gm A#
River take me, river take me
Gm A# D# A# F Gm
River take me far from trouble time
Gm A# Gm A#
River take me, river take me
Gm A# D# D# A#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
F C D# A# D7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
D# A# F C D# A# D7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
