[Em] _ _ _ I'd like to dedicate this song _ _ to little Junior Park, _ _ _ _ a [E] cousin of mine that's gone [Em] on.
He'd like to _ kind of carry on in his name. _
Sing.
_ _ [E] I don't know why I love you [D] like I [A] do [E] After all the changes you [D] put me [A] through
[E] You stole my money and [D] my [A] cigarettes [E] And I haven't seen how to [D] have you [C] yet
I want to know, _ [G] won't you tell me _ [D] I _ [A] love to stay
_ _ Take _ me to the [E] river, _ _ [Em] _ _
wash me down [A] _ _ [E] _
Won't you cleanse my [Em] soul
_ Put my pain on the ground _ [E] I _ _ _ _ _ don't know why she treated [D] me so [A] bad
[E] After all the things that [D] we could have [A] had [E] Love is an ocean that I can't [D] [A] forget
[E] Wash me clean, I will [D] never regret I [C] want to know, [G] won't you tell me
[D] I _ [A] love to stay _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ Take me to the river, _ _ _ _ wash me down _ _ _ Won't you cleanse my soul
Hold [C#m] _ _ _ [A] me, _ love [C#m] me, please [A] me, tease [G] me Till [B] I change, till I change _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ Take me to the river _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ don't know why I love you [D] like I [A] do [E] After all the things that you put [D] me [A] through
[E] _ _ Steam candles are burning [D] on my [A] wall [E] _ Coming through the windows full [D] of them all
[C] I want to know, _ [G] won't you tell me [D] I _ love [A] to stay _ _ _ _ _ _
Take _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ me _ _ to the river, _ _ _ [Em] _
wash me down _ [E] Won't _ you cleanse my [Em] soul _ _ _
I want to know, won't _ you walk me in the water _ _ _ _ Walk me in the water
Walk _ [E] me in the water
_ _ Won't you walk me in the water
