(key of Ab)

Intro: D G D G

D
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
                G
My heart’s been far from you
                     D
Ten-thousand miles gone
                      A   D
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
               G
Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands
                    D
And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember
                           G
Momma’s words reoccur to me

"Surrender to the good Lord
                            Em
And he’ll wipe your slate clean"


Take me to your river
        D
I wanna go
      Em
Oh-oh-oh- oh

Take me to your river
        D
I wanna know


Tip me in your smooth waters

I go in                    
                   G
As a man with many crimes

Come up for air
                         D
As my sins flow down the Jordan


Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
                G
Every part of me

But there is blood on my hands
                    Em
And my lips are unclean


Take me to your river
        D
I wanna go
      Em
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Take me to your river
        D
I wanna know

        D
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
                        G
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
      D
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
                        G
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Em
Take me to your river
        D
I wanna go
                    Em
Lord, please let me know

Take me to your river
        D
I wanna know
