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