Back To The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There's blue skies all aro[C]und me
And the [G]world looks just [D]the same
It's hard to be [C]criminal
When [G]you all know my [D]name
Sometimes I [C]wonder
Some[G]times I wanna be [D]free
Well, you can be [C]king of me
And [G]I'll [Gsus2]be, the q[G]ueen

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]No one listens to me
The words I have to say
There ain't no doubt about it
I'm just trying to get away
I'm going [C]back to the river
[G]Where no one wil[F]l find me[D]
I'm going [C]back to the [G]river
Back to [F]the [D]sea

[Verse 3]
[D]When I was just a baby
My mama taught me
"Girl, you best believe in Jesus
If you'll make it in the world"
I'm going [C]back to the river
[G]Where no one knows my [F]nam[D]e
I'm going [C]back to the [G]river
Back to [F]the [D]Seine

[Interlude 2]
Here we go

[C][G][F][D]

[Verse 4]
There's [D]blue skies all [C]around me
And the [G]world looks just [D]the same
It's hard to be [C]criminal
When [G]they all know your [D]name
Sometimes I [C]wonder
Some[G]times I wanna be [D]free
Well, you can be [C]king of me
An[G]d I'll be, the queen

[Interlude 3]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]No one listens to me
The words I have to say
There ain't no doubt about it
I'm just fading into gray
I'm going back to the river
Where the devil can't find me
I'm going back to the river
[G]Back to the sea
