Delta Rae – Bottom Of The River chords

Capo 2


The song is sung a cappella, so I did my best.
(First tab, hope you like it!)



CHORUS:
 E            DHold my hand
                    E       D           A             COoh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
 E            DHold my hand
                    E       D        C       AOoh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down


VERSE 1:

A           C       E           AIf you get sleep or if you get none
    E            D           C        AThe cock's gonna call in the morning, baby
A          C                 E       ACheck the cupboard for your daddy's gun
E        D             C      ARed sun rises like an early warning
     D            F             A          DThe Lord's gonna come for your first born son
    A          G            F         DHis hair's on fire and his heart is burning
   A          C               E     ASo go to the river where the water runs
E         D              C         AWash him deep where the tides are turning


BRIDGE:

    E       DAnd if you fall
 F      EIf you fall


CHORUS

 E            DHold my hand
                    E       D           A             COoh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
 E            DHold my hand
                    E       D        C       AOoh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down


VERSE 2:

      A          C                E        AThe wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
 E         D           C       ADrunk and driven by a devil's hunger
 A          C          E        ADrive your son like a railroad spike
 E        D             C        AInto the water, let it pull him under
 D         F                 A     DDon't you lift him, let him drown alive
     A         G            F       DThe good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder
 A        C              E     ALet that fever make the water rise
     EAnd let the river run dry

And I said

                    E       D        C       AOoh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
