Down To The River

I went down to the river
Flowing out unto the sea
 On my way to the ocean
 Let the spirit swallow me
Cm                     A#
I got low down in the water
          D#                    F
 I let the current guide my bones
Cm                        A#
 I've got nine kinds of trouble
          F
 I'm just trying to find my way home

Cm                          A#
Over twenty-some years of living
        D#                 F
 And a thousand wasted days
Cm                       A#
 I have loved a lot of women
      F
 Many times I've gone wrong ways
Cm                   A#
And I came down to the water
      D#                     F
 For a dip. To cleanse my soul
    Cm                     A#
 They keep telling me that I'm just a babe
         F
 But baby, why do I feel so old?
( Cm  A#  D#  F )
Cm                      F
This is the verge of a breakthrough
         D#                      G
 It's a fine line that cannot be bent
Cm                      F
 And I felt like I river run dry
                       D#                      G
But I don't know where all of the rainwater went
Cm                                 F
And I believed we were all dead or dying
         D#                      G
 But I see different in the blue light
        Cm                      F
 There is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk
      D#                   G
 It is daylight until it is night
              Cm                F
You've got to fight through the dimming
                D#            G
 You've got to run into the west
              Cm               F
 You've go to rage against the dying of the light
  D#                   G
 Live for the moment that's left
              G#
'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
      Cm
 We're alive 'till the moment we're dead
       G#
 And a drowning man is just a living man
  G
Who hasn?t run out of his last bit of breath
( G  Cm  G#  G )
( Cm  A#  D#  F )
     Cm            A#
I went down to the river
         D#           F
 Flowing out unto the sea
      Cm          A#
 On my way to the ocean
       F
 Let the spirit swallow me
        Cm            A#
I got low down in the water
           D#             F
 I let the current guide my bones
         Cm             A#
 I've got nine kinds of trouble
       F
 I'm just trying to find my way home
