E
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
Asus2
My heart’s been far from you ten thousand miles gone
E
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya Every part of me
Asus2
But there's blood on my hands and my lips are unclean
E
In my darkness I remember Momma’s words reoccur to me
Asus2
"Surrender to the good Lord and he’ll wipe your slate clean"
Chorus:
F#m E
Take me to your river I wanna go oh oh
F#m E
oh Take me to your river I wanna know
E
Dip me in your smooth waters I go in
Asus2
As a man with many crimes come up for air as my sins flow down
E
the Jordan Oh, I wanna come near and give ya every part of me
Asus2
But there's blood on my hands and my lips are unclean
Chorus
Bridge:
E (hold)
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
n.c.
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
E
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Asus2
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
E
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Asus2
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Chorus
End on E
