Down To The River

[Verse 1]
      Cm            Bb
I went  down to the river
        Eb              F
Flowing out onto the sea
     Cm            Bb
On my  way to the ocean
        F
Let the spirit swallow me
      Cm              Bb
I got low down in the water
          Eb                    F
I let the current guide my bones
     Cm             Bb
I got  nine kinds of  trouble
         F             Bb       Cm  Bb
I'm just trying to find  my way home

[Verse 2]
Eb F     Cm                      Bb
    Over twentysum'n' years of living
          Eb              F
And a thousand wasted days
       Cm             Bb
I have loved a lot of women
     F
Many times I've gone wrong ways
      Cm               Bb
And I came down to the water
      Eb                    F
For a dip to cleanse my soul
          Cm                  Bb
They keep telling me that I'm just a babe
        F             Bb    Cm Bb Eb F
But baby why do I feel  so old

[Verse 3]
Cm                     F
This is the verge of a breakthrough
         Eb                    G
It's a fine line that cannot be bent
        Cm                  F
And I felt like a river run dry
                       Eb                   G
But I don't know where all of the rainwater went
        Cm                        F
And I believe we were all dead or dying
      Eb                        G
But I see different in the blue light
         Cm                 F
There is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk
     Eb                   G
It's daylight until it is night

[Chorus]
         Cm                  F
You gotta  fight through the dimming
         Eb             G
You gotta  run into the west
         Cm                 F
You gotta  rage against the dying of the light
Eb                         G
Live for the moment that's left
         Cm                  F
You gotta  fight against the dimming
         Eb             G
You gotta  run into the west
         Cm                 F
You gotta  rage against the dying of the light
Eb                         G
Live for the moment that's left

[Post-Chorus]
               Ab
Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
       Cm
We are alive till the moment we're dead
      Ab
And a drowning man is just a living man
    G
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath

    I went down to the river

On my way to the ocean
