A# F C Dm
[Verse 1]
A# F C Dm
It's been rainy and windy for seven days straight
A# F C Dm
I've been going to bed early and getting up late
A# F C Dm
I look out my window and it's one shade of gray
A# F C Dm
Oh, my wife and my kids don't have much to say
A# F C Dm
D man out of work only gets in the way
[Verse 2]
A# F C Dm
Oh, the river is rising now, one inch an hour
A# F C Dm
And tonight we'll be lucky if we still have power
A# F C Dm
But I got a flashlight, an oil lamp and I'm ready to go
A# F C Dm
And a fresh set of batteries for my son's radio
A# F C Dm A7
If the dam really breaks, least we'll know where to go
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm F
River take me, river take me
Dm F A# F C Dm
River take me far from trouble time
Dm F Dm F
River take me, river take me
Dm F A# A# F
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
C G A# F A7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
A# F C Dm
If I had a boat you know what I'd do?
A# F C Dm
I'd float me and my family down to Baton Rouge
A# F C Dm
I wouldn't work in no factory, I'd live off the land
A# F C Dm
And live within means of my own two hands
A# F C Dm A7
Dance Saturday nights to a Zydeco band
[Instrumental]
A# F C Dm

Dm
[Verse 3]
A# F C Dm
Oh, the river flows and a young man dreams
A# F C Dm
And the river can drown you or it can wash you clean
A# F C Dm
It can take you away to some far away place
A# F C Dm
It can power your cities, carry your waste
A# F C Dm
And give all that you drink a peculiar taste
[Verse 4]
A# F C Dm
Oh, don't look to me, I've done my time
A# F C Dm
You see I've had too many dreams for this one heart of mine
A# F C Dm
And I've stood on the bridge with the river below
A# F C Dm
Feeling all of the sadness that a proud man could hold
A# F C Dm A7
Oh, the river is full but there's no way to go
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm F
River take me, river take me
Dm F A# F C Dm
River take me far from trouble time
Dm F Dm F
River take me, river take me
Dm F A# F C Dm
River take me far from trouble time
Dm F Dm F
River take me, river take me
Dm F A# A# F
River take me far from trouble tiiiiiime
C G A# F A7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
A# F C G A# F A7
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
