Verse:
Em Em
I don’t know why I love you like I do
Em Em
After all the changes you put me through
Em Em
You stole my money and my cigarettes
Em Em
I haven’t seen the worst of it yet
Pre:
C G
I want to know. Can you tell me.
Am Bm
I’d love to stay
Chorus:
Em D
Take me to the river, and wash me there
C D
Won’t you cleanse my soul and put my feet on the ground
Em
Take me to the river right now
Em Em
Verse:
Em Em
I don’t know why you treat me so bad
Em Em
Think of all the things we could have had
Em Em
Love is an ocean that I can’t forget
Em Em
Sweet sixteen I would never regret
Pre:
C G
I want to know. Can you tell me
Am Bm
I’d love to stay
Chorus:
Em D
Take me to the river and dip me down
C D
Won’t you cleanse my soul and put my feet on the ground
Em
Take me to the river right now
Break
Chorus:
Em D
Take me to the river and wash me there

Won’t you cleanse my soul and put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river right now
