[Verse 1]
C# G# D# Fm
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
C# G# D# Fm
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
C# G# D# Fm
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
C# G# D# Fm
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
C# G# D# Fm
F man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
C# G# D# Fm
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
C# G# D# Fm
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
C# G# D# Fm
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
C# G# D# Fm
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
C# G# D# Fm C7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
Fm G# Fm G#
River take me, river take me
Fm G# C# G# D# Fm
River take me far from trouble time
Fm G# Fm G#
River take me, river take me
Fm G# C# C# G#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
D# A# C# G# C7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
C# G# D# Fm
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
C# G# D# Fm
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
C# G# D# Fm
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
C# G# D# Fm
And live within means of my own two hands
C# G# D# Fm C7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band

[Verse 3]
C# G# D# Fm
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
C# G# D# Fm
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
C# G# D# Fm
It can take you away to some far away place
C# G# D# Fm
It can power your cities, carry your waste
C# G# D# Fm
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
C# G# D# Fm
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
C# G# D# Fm
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
C# G# D# Fm
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
C# G# D# Fm
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
C# G# D# Fm C7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
Fm G# Fm G#
River take me, river take me
Fm G# C# G# D# Fm
River take me far from trouble time
Fm G# Fm G#
River take me, river take me
Fm G# C# G# D# Fm
River take me far from trouble time
Fm G# Fm G#
River take me, river take me
Fm G# C# C# G#
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
D# A# C# G# C7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
C# G# D# A# C# G# C7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
