The Wooden Sky - The Late King Henry chords
Start Jamming...
Well, we built this house [Em] on the whim of lies
And [G] when the walls fell in, I [D] came to realize
That if you loved only, [Em] then you were wrong
[G] And baby, we forgot [D] it in May
Well, the river rose up and [Em] came to me last Sunday
And it [G] took the hat right off of [D] my head
She said, honey, don't you let her [Em] put you on your back
[G] Cause honey, you forgot your [E] rage, come on
[D] Save me, take me [E] to the river [G] and bathe me
Just don't let nobody [D] else claim me
Now, take me to the river [G] and name me
Tell me that it's [D] alright
[G]
[D] Well, the lake in [Em] Henric came to me last night
[G] It said, you get your wins [D] when you go straight
Well, no one on the river [Em] ever needed to fly
[G] To lead their poor [D] hearts astray, come on
Save me, take me to the [G] river and bathe me
Just don't let [D] nobody else claim me
Now, take me to the [G] river and change me
Tell me that [D] it's alright
[E] [G]
[D]
[E] Yeah, [G] tell me that it's [D] alright
Save me, take me to the river [Em] and bathe me

Take me to the river [G] and bathe me
Yeah, tell me that [D] it's alright
Save me, take me to the river [Em] and bathe me
[G] Just [B] don't let nobody [D] else claim me
