_ _ Lord, I'm going _ uptown to the Harlem River to [C]
drown.
_ _ Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me over and I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ low, mama, I gotta go _ _ while I still [C]
can.
_ _ Trouble's [G] days are behind me now and I know that the [D]
end.
[G] So when you see me walking up the empty yard just to sing and clapping [C] my hands,
I tell my mama _ _ [G] _ _
I'd give my [D] money to my baby [G] to spend.
_ Lord, I'm going _ uptown to the Harlem River to [C]
drown.
_ _ Dirty [G] water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Good times come and they go, _ and even a good man will [C] break.
I _ will let his [G] troubles bury him whole even though he knows it's his day.
So I'm taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in [C] his grace.
_ My _ _ [Gm] friends _ seem [D] tempted in choosing [G] my _ fate.
Lord, I'm going _ uptown to the Harlem River [C] to drown.
_ _ Dirty water's gonna [G] cover me [D] over and I'm not gonna make [G] a sound.
Jason, there's a lot.
