Washing of the Water Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]River, river, carry me on
Living river, carry me on
River, river, carry me on
To the [F]place where [C]I come from

[Verse 2]
[C]So [F]deep, [G]so [C]wide,
will you [F]take me on your back for a [C]ride
If I [G]should [F]fall,
[Am]would [F]you swallow me deep in[C]side
River, [Dm]show me [G]how [C]to float,
[F]I feel like I'm sinking [C]down
Thought that [Em]I cou[G]ld get[Am] alo[F]ng[Csus4]
[C]But

[Verse 3]
here [F]in this [D]water,
my [Gsus4]feet won't touch the [C]ground
I [F]need [D]something to [Gsus4]turn
myself around
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Go [Dm]ing a[G]way,
[C]awa[F]y toward the sea[C]
[G]River [C]dee[Am]p,
[F]can you lift up and carry me[C]
[Dm]Oh roll on [G]through [C]the heartland
'Til the [F]sun has left the [C]sky
River, [Am]river, [G]car[F]ry me high[C]

[Verse 5]
'Til [C]the washing [F]of the [D]wa ter,
[Gsus4]make it all alright
[C]Let your wat[F]ers rea[D]ch me,
like [Gsus4]she reached me tonight

[Verse 6]
[C]Letting go,[Am] it's so hard[G],
the way it's hurt[F]ing now
To [D]get this [E]love untied
[Am]So tough to stay[G] with this thing[Am],
â??cos if I [F]follow through
I [F#dim]face what[E] I denied
[Am]I'll get those hooks[G] out of me
[Am]And I'll take [F]out the hooks that I
[D]sunk deep [Am]in your side
Kill that fear [G]of emptiness,
that [F]loneliness [C]I hide

[Verse 7]
[C]River, [F]oh riv[D]er, riv[Gsus4]er runnin[G]g deep
[C]Bring me [F]som[D]ething that will let
[Gsus4]me get to sleep

[Verse 8]
[C]In the washing of [F]the water[D]
will you [Gsus4]take it all away[C]
Bring [F]me [D]something to take [Gsus4]this pain away
