Bottom Of The River

Am
   Hold my hand
C                  G                    D
 Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down to the  bottom of the river
Am
   Hold my hand,
C                 G                D
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down


Am         C        G          D
If you get sleep or if you get none
     Am           C           G        D
(The xxxx’s gonna call in the morning, baby)
Am        C                 G       D
Check the cupboard for your daddy’s gun

(Red sun rises like an early warning)
Am               C             G          D
The Lord’s gonna come for your first born son

(His hair’s on fire and his heart is burning)
Am        C               G     D
Go to the river where the water runs

(Wash him deep where the tides are turning)

Interlude: Am

    C  G   D
And if you fall....
    C  G   D
And if you fall....


Am       
Hold my hand
C                  G                    D              
Ooh,  baby, it’s a long way down to the bottom of the river
Am       
Hold my hand,
C                 G                D
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down


The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
(Drunk and driven by a devil’s hunger)
Drive your son like a railroad spike
(Into the water, let it pull him under)
Don’t you lift him, let him drown alive
(The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder)
Let that fever make the water rise
(And let the river run dry)


D
And I said


Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand,
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down Dit arrangement is de eigen interpretatie van de inzender, gedeeld voor privéstudie, educatie en niet-commercieel gebruik.
