(muted stuming for this section)
I went down to the river
 flowing out unto the sea
 on my way to the ocean
 let the spirit swallow me.

Am (x02210@1)                   GI (320003@1)got low down in the water
          C (x32010@1)                  D (xx0232@1)I let the current guide my bones
Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)Ive got nine kinds of trouble
          D (xx0232@1)Im just trying to find my way home.

--Riff--

Am (x02210@1)                        G (320003@1)Over twenty-some years of living
        C (x32010@1)               D (xx0232@1)and a thousand wasted days
Am (x02210@1)                     G (320003@1)I have loved a lot of women
      D (xx0232@1)Many times Ive gone wrong ways
 
Am (x02210@1)                      GAnd (320003@1)I came down to the water
        C (x32010@1)                D (xx0232@1)For a dip, To cleanse my soul.
 Am (x02210@1)                          G (320003@1)They keep telling me that Im just a babe
      D (xx0232@1)But baby, why do I feel so old?....

Am-G-C-D
 
Am (x02210@1)                    DThis (xx0232@1)is the verge of a breakthrough
         C (x32010@1)                    E (022100@1)its a fine line that cannot be bent
Am (x02210@1)                    D (xx0232@1)and I felt like I river run dry
                       C (x32010@1)                    E (022100@1)
but I dont know where all of the rainwater went
 
Am (x02210@1)                                DAnd (xx0232@1)I believed we were all dead or dying
         C (x32010@1)                      E (022100@1)but I see different in the blue light
          Am (x02210@1)                 D (xx0232@1)there is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk
       C (x32010@1)                   E (022100@1)it is daylight until it is night

Am (x02210@1)           D (xx0232@1)Youve got to fight through the dimming
               C (x32010@1)          E (022100@1)Youve got to run into the west
               Am (x02210@1)             D (xx0232@1)Youve go to rage against the dying of the light
 C (x32010@1)                        E (022100@1)Live for the moment thats left
 
                Am (x02210@1)           D (xx0232@1)Youve got to fight through the dimming
               C (x32010@1)          E (022100@1)Youve got to run into the west
               Am (x02210@1)             D (xx0232@1)Youve go to rage against the dying of the light
 C (x32010@1)                        E (022100@1)Live for the moment thats left

FCause (133211@1)there is no such thing as a dying man
      Am (x02210@1)Were alive till the moment were dead
       F (133211@1)and a drowning man is just a living man
    E (022100@1)Who hasnt run out of his last bit of breath.
