[Intro]

| Ab | - | Db | - |

[Verse 1]
Ab
  Been travelling these wide roads
For so long
                Db
My heart's been far from you
                       Ab
Ten thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come near and give, yeah
Every part of me
Db
  But there's blood on my hands
                       Ab
And my lips are unclean
In my darkness I remember
                           Db
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
                                Bbm
And he'll wipe your slate clean"

[Chorus]
Take me to your river
        Ab
I wanna go
      Bbm
Oh, go
Take me to your river
       Ab
I wanna  know

[Verse 2]
Ab
  Dip me in your smooth water
As I go in
     Db
As a man with many crimes,
come up for air
                         Ab
As my sins flow down the Jordan
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
Db
  But there's blood on my hands
                          Bbm
And my lips aren’t clean

[Chorus]
Take me to your river
        Ab
I wanna go
       Bbm
Oh, go on,
Take me to your river
        Ab
I wanna know

[Bridge]
        Ab
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
      Db
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
      Ab
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
      Db
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

[Outro]
       Bbm
Oh, go on,
Take me to your river
        Ab
I wanna go
                    Bbm
Lord, please let me know

[Fade Out]
Take me to your river
        Ab
I wanna know
