Matt King - Back To The River guitar chord

BACK TO THE RIVER

Matt King

From the CD "Five O'Clock Hero"

Atlantic Records

(C) Coon dog howls, (G) baby cries

(F) Nightlight shinin' was a fireflie

My (C) very first kiss, my (G) mother's last wish

Sit(F)tin' here thinkin' 'bout days gone by

(C) Somewhere west of the (G) Carolina line

I (F) lost my way, nearly lost my mind

(C) Drinkin' from a fountain of (G) tears I cried

Cause, my (F) well's full of dust, and my soul's bone dry

I'm goin' (C) back to the river, where the (G) water runs deep

(F) Fall on my knees and take a big drink

(C) Wash this body, where (G) I was baptised

And (F) quinch my thirst, where the moon still shines

(Dm) Back to the (C) river

Well, I (C) hit the ground runnin' when I (G) hit hard times

(F) Runnin' away - chasin' highway signs

(C) Tried to change a heart made of (G) naughty pine

But, you (F) can't draw whiskey from a Honeysuckle vine

I'm goin' (C) back to the river, where the (G) water runs deep

(F) Fall on my knees and take a big drink

(C) Wash this body, where (G) I was baptised

And (F) quinch my thirst, where the moon still shines

(Dm) Back to the (C) river

Solo

I'm goin' (C) back to the river, where the (G) water runs deep

(F) Fall on my knees and take a big drink

(C) Wash this body, where (G) I was baptised

And (F) quinch my thirst, where the moon still shines

(Dm) Back to the (C) river
