Paroles

[Intro]
E7 D E7
D E7                              D
    I'd like to dedicate this song
E7
  to little Junior Parker
D  E7
 A cousin of mine who's gone on,
                D                  E7
but we'd like to kinda carry on in his name
      D
I sing

[Verse 1]
E7                                     D A
  I don't know why I love you like I do
E7                                               D A
  After all these changes that you put me through
E7                                    D A
  You stole my money and my cigarettes
E7                                           D
  And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

[Pre-Chorus]
  A          C              G
I wanna know, won't you tell me
    D                A
Am I in love to stay?

[Chorus]
               E7
Take me to the river and wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul? Put my feet on the ground

[Verse 2]
E7                                      D A
  I don't know why she treated me so bad
E7                                             D A
  Look at all the things that we could have had
E7                                    D A
  Love is a notion that I can't forget
E7                                    D
  My sweet sixteen I will never regret

[Pre-Chorus]
  A          C              G
I wanna know, won't you tell me
    D                A E7
Am I in love to stay?

[Bridge]
C#m        A        C#m
   Hold me, love me,   please me,
A
 tease me
D             B7
 Till I can't,  till I can't,
can't take no more

[Chorus]
E7
  Take me to the river

[Verse 3]
E7                                     D A
  I don't know why I love you like I do
E7                                            D A
  After all the things that you put me through
E7                                          D A
  The sixteen candles are burning on my wall
E7                                            D
  Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

[Pre-Chorus]
  A          C              G
I wanna know, won't you tell me
    D                A
Am I in love to stay?

[Chorus]
E7
I wanna know
Take me to the river
I wanna know
                          E7
Want you to dip me in the water

[Outro]
I wanna know
Won't you wash me in the water?
Wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Won't you wash me in the water?

[Fade Out]
E7
  Feeling good
