G5                              G5
I've done a bad thing it's okay
G5                                G5
I'm going down to the river today
       C5                              C5
And the river's gonna wash my sins away
                  G5             G5
Til I'm born again tomorrow
D5
Oh to get over my head
C5                G5             G5
Make me forget my sorrow

G5                                G5
I'm going down to the river alone
G5                                 G5
Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone
C5                                   C5
And if they cry when I don't come home
                   G5
Just lie and tell them I'm funnin'
D5
Whoa to get out of my eyes
C5                     G5
Into the river wide I'm runnin'

              C5
And I can't swim
             G5
But it's alright
              D5                               G5
'Cause all my sin will drag me down even if I could
                      C5                    G5
And if it weren't for him and the love that night
       D5                                     D5
I'd be living for the light like a good girl should
                   G5
'Cause a good girl should
