Introduction:
Am F C G
Main riff
Am F
It's been thirty-one years
Am F
Since she's been in your arms
Am F
But don't worry about Mama
C G
Mama's got a good heart
Am F
And I'm not looking for your love
Am F
I'm only sniffing out blood
Am F
Just a little taste of
C G
where I came from
Am F C G
And at the bottom of this river
Am F
Is where I put you down to lay
C G
So I can live with it
Am F
And in my heart heart heart
C G
there are these waters
Am F
Where I put you down to lay
C G
While I learn to live with it
Am
Until I'm free
Am F C G
While lead plays main riff
Am F
And it's been all my life
Am F
I've been wondering on the inside
Am F
What we could've had
C G
If you'd had a part in my life
Am F
And there were children involved
Am F
And they were brothers to me
Am F
Even if we
C G
never got to meet
Am F C G
And at the bottom of this river
Am F
Is where I put you down to lay
C G
So I can live with it
Am F
And in my heart heart heart
C G
there are these waters
Am F
Where I put you down to lay
C G
While I learn to live with it
Bridge
C
Until I'm free at last
Am
from this shadow that hangs
F
Surely you wonder sometimes
C G
And I'm sure you all sympathize
C
Just what a man's to become,
Am
just like his daddy's done
F
I just want to love someone
C G
Who has the same blood
Who has the same blood
Am F C G
And at the bottom of this river
Am F
Is where I put you down to lay
C G
So I can live with it
Am F
And in my heart heart heart
C G
there are these waters
Am F
Where I put you down to lay
C G
While I learn to live with it
Am F Am F

Until I'm free
