Take Me to the River--Al Green, et al
intro: E7 Asus4 A(repeat vamp to verse 1)
verse 1:I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
Now I ain't seen hide nor hair of you yet
chorus: I wanna know, won't you tell me, I'd love to say...
Take me to the river, wash me down
Take me to the water, put my feet on the ground
turnaround Asus4 A
verse 2:I don't know why she treated me so bad
After all the things that we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret (repeat chorus)
bridge: Hold me, love me
Please me, baby you can squeeze me
Til I drown, til I drown, til I drown, I'm gonna take you to the river
verse3: I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
Your sixteen candles are burnin' on my wall
Telling me how you made a fool of them all (repeat chorus)
